And the thieving wastrel Feds did?
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.
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.
FUBF !
Dear Barney you fa**ot, it is not your business what we do with OUR money especially where it goes after we die so **** off ! Of course you are a whore to large corporate interest who would love to see small and family business get decimated and this tax serves that purpose !
And what did politicians (especially scumbag politicians like Barney “Male Whorehouse in DC” Frank) do to deserve the right to dictate to people what they can do with their private property?
Heirs sacrificed family time when the productivity and wealth was created, not that Barney can relate to that ... but more importantly, WHAT DID BARNEY FRANK DO TO DESERVE TO CONFISCATE THE RIGHTFUL INHERITANCE?
Perfectly logical in his mind. Children belong to the state, not their parents.
And the government did souch to earn it.
We’ve got to keep pounding and pounding and pounding that the problem is that the gov’t thinks ALL THE MONEY IS THEIRS.
Nobody who is really an american, or even a person believes THAT!
If that’s the case they Barney should have to give up grandmother’s hutch, his mother’s hand-made quilt, and any other items he may have “inherited” after their death. Those items should be immediately surrendered to the government. After all, he didn’t do anything to “earn” them. What a friggin’ Liberal money-grabbin’ socialist.
Easy for Barney to say. His heir is a pile of poo.
The inheritance tax is pure evil. That being said, does anyone know offhand when it was established? Was it part of the original income tax of 1913, or was it added later?
