The tax code is fundamentally unfair. It gives special privileges to those who bribe lawmakers (called innocently “contributions”) to vote their way.
It is socialist in nature. It takes from those who earn and gives to those who vote for benefits.
It is intentionally complicated, so no one individual will be able to figure out what is really happening. (Transfer of wealth.)
The dems will be crowing “tax cuts for the rich” no matter what changes are made. Screwem.
No one should pay taxes on their labor. Not one penny.
If I agree to provide a service through my labor in exchange for a monetary value then that is a one to one exchange between me and my employer. It is a benefit to both of us.
A third party, (like the faceless bureaucrat in government) has NO RIGHT to my wages which was earned by the sweat of physical activity.
Any tax on labor is partial slavery.
the death tax needs to be abolished too
Paying the Imperial Tax to Caesar
15 Then the Pharisees went out and laid plans to trap him in his words. 16 They sent their disciples to him along with the Herodians. Teacher, they said, we know that you are a man of integrity and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You arent swayed by others, because you pay no attention to who they are. 17 Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay the imperial tax[a] to Caesar or not?
18 But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me? 19 Show me the coin used for paying the tax. They brought him a denarius, 20 and he asked them, Whose image is this? And whose inscription?
21 Caesars, they replied.
Then he said to them, So give back to Caesar what is Caesars, and to God what is Gods.
See even Jesus says we have to pay taxes
The Estate tax is plain theft, and right out of the communist manifesto.
America removed the 10 commandments from schools ...
The Supreme Court compounded its godless and criminal misconduct by banning the Ten Commandments and its moral precepts from classrooms in 1980. Their reasoning was fantastically absurd ...
[I]f the posted copies of the Ten Commandments are to have any effect at all, it will be to induce the schoolchildren to read, meditate upon, perhaps to venerate and obey, the Commandments, which, the Court said, is not a permissible state objective under the Establishment Clause.
Call upon Yahshua before it’s TOO LATE!
The daily sacrifice is about to be taken away! (Dan:12, Mat:24
All taxation is theft.

And any tax on property is paying rent to a landlord, even if the property has no mortgage.
If the rent isn’t paid, the tenant gets evicted.
No difference from being a serf.
For most of us after a lifetime of work paying taxes we retire to pitifully small Social Security checks and those are taxed. And those SS checks have seldom cost of living increases that never keep up with the cost of living.
Meanwhile people who pay no income tax get fairly good sized reimbursements.
Self-made men are a mortal threat to Socialist governance, unlike billionaires who can be bought off and become useful tools in achieving the Revolution. The effects of the estate tax are intentional and part of a larger plan, so the Left will never allow it to be taken away.
Nail, meet hammer.
Fundamentally unfair? The statement does not need to be qualified. Let me change that for you. The Tax Code IS Unfair. It is confiscatory and punishing to success.
EVERYBODY should pay the very same flat rate amount and the total tax shoudl be limited to not more than 10% of the economy. That is an excessive rate of overhead to run any business in my book. If it is good enough for business it is good enough for gubment.
This will never happen though as long as there are politicians who can and do use the tax code as their personal slush fund to reward friends and punish enemies.
There should also be no tax at all on people over 70. They have paid their share. Leave them alone.
We should pay taxes on profit, not on wages earned through labor.
The founding fathers were very wise. This is why they refused to tax labor.
It wasn’t until Woodrow Wilson mandated congress to force Americans to suddenly pay taxes on their labor. May he burn in hell for eternity.
I have met many people who literally sold the farm to pay the taxes.
You want to pay more taxes, then get rid of this tax because it means you will pay more income tax. Your inheritance will not get a stepped up basis in the estate and you will pay capitlal gains tax.
But “getting rid of a tax” sounds good to our itching ears..........
We should pay taxes on profit,
You don’t want to tax labor, many don’t want to tax capital,
That leaves taxing management (decision making).
All taxation is theft.
There is a role for government, limited government.
Personally I think our inheritance tax system is working just fine. Many want to fix this like they did health care.
I don’t want concentration of wealth and power, it is a danger to our freedom. The first 5 million (and increasing)of inheritance is exempt from taxes so small business is preserved.
The rich don’t pay it by the use of trusts but at least if forces some distribution of wealth. Think of what it would be like if Soros could give all his heritance to his son. AT least the power of the money is distributed some.
Not a perfect system but it is the best.
I agree 100% being in a 4th Generation Family business where we employee 300 employees. We are working for the Federal Gov and our employees.
You have to do complicated estate planning that does not always work as you fund it with Life insurance and not the Life insurance companies have issues as they are not solvent and the paid up policies now need to be have double payments made or they lapse. The game is rigged against the family business and keeping wealth that you paid taxes on over a lifetime in the family.
America is a socialist country today.
Wrong you are. Setting up trusts and paying for Life Insurance that is now in question normally paid for some of it. But most family businesses like farms or trucking companies are not cash rich. Their cash is tied up into ill-liquid depreciating assets. Should I put 300 employees out of a job to pay estate taxes when the 3rd generation of a 100+ year old company is closed?
That bar on estate taxes should be set perhaps at a 20 million mark and not as low as 5.2 million per spouse.
