Yeah half the population
....
the 50th percentile arent *the least well off* you fucking spastic
Thats literally half the population, not all of those are your fantasy evil men in monocles

People buy life insurance policies and invest to put aside for their future possibly their deaths
you said "acknowledge inheritance tax would hurt the least well off"
but the least well off are the people in the 1st percentile, *who have no wealth at all*
so it cant possibly hurt them
*dumbbbbb*
I dont even get your argument youre saying that unless youre a literal hobo the tax wont affect you
Lets expand it out
What is it like half the us population is 1 paycheque away from.bankruptcy
thats the worst interpretation of my argument, that ive seen, ever
3/4ths have credit card debt over 20K
A lot of those could use some relief
yep thats all terrible
agreed
Yeah
A little grandma present
also i dont think 3/4ths have credit card debt higher than 20k
i thought the number was 5k
20k is a bit too ridiculous, even for your sake
55-60% have credit card debt
and no, the people who need the relief are mostly 20-50 year olds
yet the people who get most of the inheritance are 50+
who are doing just fine
the real way to solve this issue is the systematically alter worker conditions
20-50 year olds dont get inheritance?
Go on
they do but in far lower quantities than 50+
which is where the majority goes
why do you think workers/consumers are doing so poorly
but 50 years ago they were doing fine
what has changed in your mind
you think its just taxation that did it? but.... reagan and bush MASSIVELY reduced taxation
yet the middle and lower classes still got squeezed
so that suggests the problem isnt higher taxes.....
so then, if its not high taxation that is causing this decline, *what do you think it is*
Im on the edge of my seat
