What’s ours is ours.
Your stuff is negotiable...
All you mom’s stuff belong us.
I would take a match to it first.
This was being pitched to me in first year law school by my contracts prof, back in 1987!
Most people are morons, or evil. No other way around it. Most of today's poor in any developed country aren't really poor by any true standard. The poor have access to things today that many people who grew up in the 1950s didn't have, rich or poor.
Poor is a state of mind.
Speaking of have vs. need. Charlie Gard needed care months ago. Those who have the power prevented this need.
Do we really want to go there with a 100% inheritance tax? Sorry Mr. Jones, but the government is a bit short this month, and you're worth more to us dead, than alive.
Why not just be able to abort your parents? Then there’d be no waiting around for the big payoff.
Because it doesn't belong to you !
Taxes have already been paid on this income, for the privilege of your gratuitous spending.
What are you going to do when you run out of other people's money ?
.. and you have to face the debit that you have run up ?
Welcome to Venezuela !
How about putting the leeches on Snap to work and tying their tubes?
This was tried in the USSR immediately after the revolution. The results proved so unmanageable that even the Commies ordered inheritance rights reinstated.
Democrats want to steal from traditional hard working Americans... it’s who they are... see tag:
Let’s use Chelsea Clinton as a test case and see how it works out.
The left has always been about government sanctioned theft.
Bill Whittle did a video a few years ago showing that the arithmetic didn’t work out; confiscating all wealth of the Forbes 400 richest people didn’t cover the federal deficit for even one year.
And the second-year haul from the new Fortune 400 richest people wouldn’t be nearly as big.
We need a special tax on journalists to help fix the damage they have done.
I haven’t figured out inheritances yet.
I used to be staunchly opposed to the death tax.
Then, I look at the damage that these nonprofit foundations, funded by the fortunes of the billionaires, do.
It would have been better for society if Henry Ford’s money was burnt after his death.
I can only imagine the multigenerational damage done by the fortunes of Jeff Bezon, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, and Zuckerberg, after this money is in the control of leftist nonprofit foundations.
“...... tax the Rich, feed the Poor, til there are Rich no more...”
Great plan - until there are no more Rich left to feed the Poor.
Then what?
Who will feed the poor when there are no more Rich to feed them?
By the same token, people lucky enough to be born beautiful and healthy tend to fare better in life than unattractive or unhealthy people. Therefore, government should surgically alter all healthy and all beautiful people so they're no better off than the less fortunate.
Ten Years After (1971)
Let’s bottom-line what the liberals are really saying here:
All property IS the property of the state, and any so-called “private property” is merely on loan to selected individuals (according to historical quirks in local laws), and ALL property is subject to the recall at any moment in time, as the needs of the state dictate.
