Liberal rich bitch about not paying their fair share..What they are really admitting is fed’s have to FORCE them.to part with their wealth...
To: Hambone 1934
Yeah, they want someone to give redeeming meaning to their ill earned gains... like a drug dealer hoping a priest will make better use of it.
I am very suspcioius. This looks like another liberal scam.
Here, we have too much money, tax us! And use that taxed money to fund our “non profit” Clinton foundations to help the poor in Haiti... we are gods and so trustworthy...
Seriously!? This is a communist seminarian scam.

The less money controlled by Mitch's or Chuck's greedy crooked hands , the better. If they are feeling guilty donate it to charity.

If these guiltily rich idiots wanted to do societal good with their money, the last place they would give it would be to the government. There are far more efficient charities.

I'll believe that rich left wingers are serious about the problems of inheritance when half of the Kennedy family wealth disappears into the ravenous jaws of government every generation. Old Joe to John, Robert and Fat Ted would be one halving. Then that generation to the next would be halved again. And now that some of the next generation are dying before old age (like John Jr), half of their wealth should go to the government. Oh, wait, all of it is hidden in trusts so none is subject to death taxes rather than 3/4 to 7/8 of the family fortune? Yeah, you're worried about the uneven distribution of wealth.

Thanks nickcarraway. Well, guess what? People who happen to be rich (and most get that way the old fashioned way, by being born) who feel shame about their wealth should just get a job and give away everything they own. See? No more shame. Any other approach means they're mealy-mouthed liars and cowards who just want to boss the rest of us around and give up nothing while doing it. Typical BS op-ed masquerading as an article, from The Guardian.
Iimay Ho, the executive director of Resource Generation, a nonprofit working to "organize young people with wealth and class privilege" to work to relieve inequality... owns a $370,000 apartment. "Homeownership is a marker and a part of a huge transfer of wealth," she explained.

If their stated goal were to point out that "poorer" people pay
too much in taxes, I'd be onboard with that.
Unfortunately, they are claiming that Uncle Sam isn't confiscating enough from "richer" people .

(Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.)
To: nickcarraway
“This inherited wealth can be passed on to ones family members tax-free unless its larger than $5,430,000 an extremely generous arrangement. (This means that fewer than 1% of all estates are taxed.) This is part of why social mobility is no longer what it once was. There are real racial gaps in upward mobility as well.”
If I or anyone else wants to save their money and leave a significant amount for their children, it should be our right - without question. If you can't pass on to your children what you've worked for, then it really isn't yours. You're taxed on what you earn. Taxed on what you purchase. Taxed on any income you may make from investing the money you've already paid taxes on. Local tax. State tax. Federal tax. Automobile tax. General sales tax. Property tax. Capital gains tax. etc. etc. All of this so that ‘public servants’ like the Clintons have lots of ‘government money’ to spend to buy votes, all the while they are making themselves extremely wealthy. This is out of control.

“...Iimay Ho, the executive director of Resource Generation, a nonprofit...”
“... she has personal access to net assets of $100,000 and that she makes $68,000 a year... put Ho in the top 10% of those in her 18-to-35 age bracket, she said.”
“Ho also owns a $370,000 apartment.”
We all here can figure out why it’s a non-profit.

My lib relatives who have money say they are totally OK with the govt taking it and redistributing it. They dont trust people to do a good job with their own money so they trust the GOVT to do it. I just shake my head.

To hell with that.
If they feel so guilty take a couple of million and build a small (8-10 patient rooms) but well appointed and stocked hospital in any small Appalachian town.
Then endow it for at least 2 doctors, 2 nurses, and supplies for the next 50 years.

The great irony is, the more central control, socialism and statism you have, the more you make a few people very wealthy, at the expensive of society.

“For instance, Iimay Ho, the executive director of Resource Generation, a nonprofit working to organize young people with wealth and class privilege to work to relieve inequality, came out to me when we first spoke on the phone.”
“Iimay Ho”?
Really, you are?
What do you charge?
