What claim does the government have on the wealth those people created? Why is the discussion always about how much the rich deserve to keep based on their own creation of wealth?
- amalag 13y agoThe estate tax extends the standard tax rate on that degree of income to the money left behind when they die, it is not currently a higher rate. Do you suggest there should be no estate tax?
- swalkergibson 13y agoThe government has the same claim on their wealth as any other level of income, as part of the social contract of living in the US. I am a little confused on what your point is. Should people making $50k/year be exempt from the government's claim on the wealth they created, too? What about people making $25k/year?
