Extra small or extra big?

No, no. Its just murder. You can’t steal something if no one owns it. And corpses don’t own things. /s

What you said earlier was “that used car doesn’t represent wealth, its JUST a used car”. That is different from “that 10 year old used car represents a good bit of wealth, despite the fact that it is old and used.”

The people we’re talking about have trouble figuring out what’s going on in their own shoes!

Since I’ve moved to the US from Canada

Let’s see. Would I pay $5k a month for some slum that wasn’t clean? Nope. Not a fucking chance in hell.

My mom’s 2005 Honda Pilot and Dad’s 2008 Jeep Wrangler count as wealth now? They’re just used cars to me and any sane privileged person.

Wouldn’t creating a new higher bracket that pays more (90% at > $10 million) be better than lowering the bottom bracket?

But if someone like me grows up in the family business, you are directly contributing through your work to the amount of money that gets funneled into that inheritance, at the end of the day.

Did you honestly just ask how we can be sure that someone didn’t earn inheritance?? We can be sure because that’s what the word means. LOL.

It even extends to the way we talk. I once called my kid a jerk in front of a group of moms—my daughter was not there but she WAS being a jerk—and you would’ve thought I called for her head.

I think you got your logic backwards there. If talking about the ‘fake’ stuff he isn’t the only one who thinks it is foul.

Yearly flat tax on net worth. I think that’d be good.

Considering that inheritance is nepotism, anyone should be rather hard pressed to call that ‘already pretty high’.

Or, as John Oliver put it: If you aren’t comfortable calling what you own ‘an estate’ then the estate tax doesn’t apply to you.

A) No one is being double taxed. If you make a bunch of money, you pay taxes on it. It was income, you pay income taxes. When you give that money to someone else, it is their and they pay their income taxes.

That works to. In effect, that is also a tax. You would be causing (slight) deflation so everyone that has an assets as cash (ie the poor) would have increased buying power.

Fuck Empathy. These people can’t even form coherent thoughts and you expect advanced things like empathy from them? Walk before you run, man!

I didn’t ‘miss’ it, you moron, that’s what I said! How could I have missed the thing I pointed out?!?

Right. So, given that bit of info, we have two possibilities.
