Barney Frank: Death Tax Not Punishment; Heirs Didn’t Do Anything to Deserve Inheritance
breitbart ^

Posted on 12/19/2010 6:11:19 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Mr. Frank's attitude seems to be that Americans need to justify why they should keep the money they inherit instead of the government needing to justify why they should be allowed to confiscate it.

It is not as common today as in my parents generation but children sometimes do earn their inheritance.

My wife and her siblings worked their butts off for no money in their father's business when they were young. He's long gone. But my wife's aging mother wants to leave something to her children - they deserve the money and the government should get nothing! But the government will steal a great portion of it. My wife and I give large amounts of money, up to the limit, every year to our adult children because we don't want the government getting it all when we die. Our children deserve their inheritance! Barney Fwank has a stick up his...

Barney, you don't have to "do" anything to be the beneficiary of a gift. Many people are the recipients of gifts that they don't deserve at all as shown by their subsequent abuse of that gift, such as you and the gift of life.

That’s the thief telling you he’s taking your money because your son didn’t do anything to deserve it. Oh, for the days when they knew what to do to thieves.

Just another example that liberals think the money belongs to the government and that they give you what they think is “fair.”

Frank is right in line with Marx.

Rule 3. Abolition of all right of inheritance.

Really, the only way to settle this is to challenge the IRS, Barney Frank, or whoever wants your inheritance to a duel to the death.

They don't respond to normal human emotions or rational arguments. They are flesh-eating bacteria that only responds to disinfectant.

Actually what a lot of people do is go out and buy a lot of very expensive antique furniture. Then they claim that their household furnishings are worth nothing and leave them to their kids.

Not that I would know. I did have some antique firearms to leave but then there was an unfortunate boating accident...

Go tell that to the farm families that have worked their entire lives on the farms that they are going to have to sell half of their acreage to pay the inheritance taxes. Barney needs to go sit on a hoe handle and spin.

What a selfish, ignorant group these people are. Business owners and farmers . . . no more votes for these idiots. This is what they think of you and your families.

Seriously.

Yeah, but the government did earn their inheritance.

The IRS could have confiscated all a person's earnings but instead let him/her keep some of to build an estate to tax once he/she no longer needed it.

Wasn't that nice of them?

IF Frank were able to have an heir, he might realize how frikkin’ stupid his comment was. Maybe the terms “family business”, “family farm”, or “Smith & Son” will sound familiar to the porker.

Hey Barney? What about the social contract? That I want my children’s and my grandchildren’s lives to be better than mine? So I clutched my dollars, sacrificed my whole life and gave them education and other goods, and then an inheritance. Who in the world are you to tell me that I cant take care of my own??? I paid my taxes to the government all along...so the Government and assholes like you have NO claim to my money...you are in the wrong country...

Hey Barney, you Fag...

Part of why I had children late in life was to have heirs to give what I have accumulated.

Pure theft of assets from people who already paid massive taxes and wish to give the family farm/business to his/her kids.

Frank is a typical democrat party professional parasite, who has never worked an honest day in his evil life.
