and guess what
theyll spend more in the real economy
because they cant pass it on as easily
but also, im not talking about 80% inheritance tax dude
this isnt expropriation we're discussing
we're talking about a reasonably sized tax
Wealth would be accessed other ways
so yes, they still pass on their wealth, but we get a piece of the pie
No, im talking about the ultra wealthy
so am i
Who pay 80% of the taxes
If a person dies without any heirs then they wealth could be seized by the gov
dude im talking about tax RATE
Youre basically creating capital flight
If a person goes to prison their wealth could be confiscated
we're not going to institute an 80% tax rate for inheritance
its going to be something small
In the case of the ultra wealthy this’d give a lot of money
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
Why do you want to double tax people
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
I thought left wingers were the compassionate ones
So now youre talking about confiscating private citizens wealth
Thats not tyrannical
For bad behavioir
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
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
theyre all "double taxes" in some form
and they exist because of evolutionary reasons -> we realised we needed to alter incentives in society
@bink thats a great idea
You cant tax income once a scheduled tax return has been filed unless there has been fraud committed,
and we're not
Also thats pretty much a violation of the bill of rights
we're taxing the activity of inheritance
