You don't actually get to own anything after you're dead, you know. There isn't a "you" there to do the owning.

- refurb 11y agoNow you're just being pedantic. I should be able to give what I own when I'm alive to whomever I please once I die. That is, unless you believe I never owned it in the first place.
- Frondo 11y agoYou can, of course, but it's taxed, just like lots and lots of transactions are taxed. I don't see why a death should somehow be exempt from the class of "events that are taxed," especially when there's all kinds of good reasons for not encouraging dynastic wealth from generation to generation.
