But the argument being made here is that spoiled kids are not deserving, so the estate tax is a just tax.
The point is: government is not deserving either, so the spoiled kids angle is bogus.
Pointing out that the government collects other taxes is simply not relevant to this aspect of the conversation.
- roc 17y agoExcept that deserving isn't a binary attribute. So pointing out the government is undeserving isn't sufficient. My point is that we as a society have entrusted government specifically with the job of redistributing wealth to better society and that makes them the better of bad choices.
