and guess what

2019-08-21 04:10:24 UTC  

theyll spend more in the real economy

2019-08-21 04:10:30 UTC  

because they cant pass it on as easily

2019-08-21 04:10:42 UTC  

but also, im not talking about 80% inheritance tax dude

2019-08-21 04:10:53 UTC  

this isnt expropriation we're discussing

2019-08-21 04:11:01 UTC  

we're talking about a reasonably sized tax

2019-08-21 04:11:05 UTC  

Wealth would be accessed other ways

2019-08-21 04:11:12 UTC  

so yes, they still pass on their wealth, but we get a piece of the pie

2019-08-21 04:11:19 UTC  

No, im talking about the ultra wealthy

2019-08-21 04:11:24 UTC  

so am i

2019-08-21 04:11:25 UTC  

Who pay 80% of the taxes

2019-08-21 04:11:29 UTC  

If a person dies without any heirs then they wealth could be seized by the gov

2019-08-21 04:11:32 UTC  

dude im talking about tax RATE

2019-08-21 04:11:38 UTC  

Youre basically creating capital flight

2019-08-21 04:11:40 UTC  

If a person goes to prison their wealth could be confiscated

2019-08-21 04:11:46 UTC  

we're not going to institute an 80% tax rate for inheritance

2019-08-21 04:11:50 UTC  

its going to be something small

2019-08-21 04:12:06 UTC  

In the case of the ultra wealthy this’d give a lot of money

2019-08-21 04:12:28 UTC  

Tell me how this income isnt double taxed? If it comes from a payroll its been taxed already

If a person goes to prison their wealth could be confiscated

this is an interesting idea

2019-08-21 04:12:39 UTC  

Its been filed under a Scheduled tax return

2019-08-21 04:12:59 UTC  

Why do you want to double tax people

2019-08-21 04:13:12 UTC  

maybe we make it such that if they committed a financial crime, like fraud or whatever, and they get convicted and sent to prison, we get to expropriate their wealth. that would disincentivise legitimately bad behaviour

2019-08-21 04:13:17 UTC  

I thought left wingers were the compassionate ones

2019-08-21 04:13:39 UTC  

So now youre talking about confiscating private citizens wealth

2019-08-21 04:13:46 UTC  

Thats not tyrannical

2019-08-21 04:13:52 UTC  

For bad behavioir

2019-08-21 04:13:57 UTC  

If a person in the wealthy elite is convicted of a crime such as fraud or some heinous crime, then perhaps at least 50% of their wealth could be seized

2019-08-21 04:14:03 UTC  

double tax wealthy people? we're taxing their activity dude. we're not double taxing their income. this is the same with anything in modern society; VAT, excise duty, customs etc

2019-08-21 04:14:15 UTC  

theyre all "double taxes" in some form

2019-08-21 04:14:42 UTC  

and they exist because of evolutionary reasons -> we realised we needed to alter incentives in society

2019-08-21 04:15:14 UTC  

@bink thats a great idea

2019-08-21 04:15:24 UTC  

You cant tax income once a scheduled tax return has been filed unless there has been fraud committed,

2019-08-21 04:15:31 UTC  

and we're not

2019-08-21 04:15:39 UTC  

Also thats pretty much a violation of the bill of rights

2019-08-21 04:15:42 UTC  

we're taxing the activity of inheritance

2019-08-21 04:15:45 UTC
