Just as with the thought that “the rich need to pay more in taxes,” this inheritence plan has the same goals in mind: a shakedown. When the government is spending money, there is no end in mind, only the thought of how to keep feeding the hungry beast. There is no accountability, no responsibility, and not even a thought to whether an arbitrary amount such as 50% will be enough to satisfy greedy folks such as Fahreed. They’ll never say “50% is plenty,” because it won’t be long before someone decides that there’s really no reason to leave ANY inheritence. After all, in a truely democratic and egalitarian society, shouldn’t we ALL start on a level playing field?
Talk about hyperbole! Nothing is more unAmerican than leaving your wealth to your kids?
Guess he never heard of Nazism, fascism, communism, theft, murder, rape, rigging elections, despotism, socialism...
I can run a damn long list of things that are more unAmerican.
