    I'm not rich but thanks for hopping on

    Pointing out the insane envy of the left isn't a pity party its a duty I feel that I have here. It's also dangerous because the definition of rich keeps getting lowered as the capital flees and then there is no toilet paper

    It always comes down to that

    You’re selling envy and we’re selling healthcare, education and saving the planet. Hillary Clinton come up with this strategy?
    I'm selling envy?

    That's ridiculous

    Yeah, that $11 million+ exclusion we have is murder on the middle class.
    Which you want to get rid of and go back to how it was

    What we have now isn't in question. I already pointed out how the current law helps "rich" people like me. I'm not trying to change it back, you are.

    If you're this stupid try gas and a match and see if it helps. Typical gutless lib that is to fucking scared to stand up and say what you fucking mean

    Try this. Great song shitty political philosophy

    Everywhere is freaks and hairies
    Dykes and fairies, tell me where is sanity
    Tax the rich, feed the poor
    Till there are no rich no more

    I'd love to change the world
    But I don't know what to do
    So I'll leave it up to you

    Population keeps on breeding
    Nation bleeding, still more feeding economy
    Life is funny, skies are sunny
    Bees make honey, who needs money, monopoly

    I'd love to change the world
    But I don't know what to do
    So I'll leave it up to you

    World pollution, there's no solution
    Institution, electrocution
    Just black and white, rich or poor
    Them and us, stop the war

    I'd love to change the world
    But I don't know what to do
    So I'll leave it up to you
    I want to go “back to how it was” when? You’ve said 1972, ‘cuz Secretariat! Was the estate tax exclusion $60,000 when we began discussing this?
    I didn't think you would answer

    So funny boy tell us the rate and exemption you want?

    I thought having it at $5 million and indexing it was reasonable. That’s about where things stood 10 years ago. It would probably be about $6 or 7 million by now. So many more people would be subject to it that something lower than the prior initial rate (25%?) would probably be justified. I haven’t thought about where the subsequent rate increases would hit. Taxing a billion+ at 77% is okay with me.

    Still just numbers to you with absolutely no understanding as to what drives value in the first place.

    Imagine that, you think it's reasonable for you get a piece of someone else's money. Shocking.

    It offends some people that individuals might be able to decide for themselves how to best use their own assets.

    They see nothing wrong with using violence, up to and including death to enforce this.

    The virtue signally leftists see no hypocrisy insisting they know what’s best for others and are willing to use violence to achieve it.

    The estate tax encourages you to decide for yourself what to do with your fortune. You should start now, Mike, before it’s too late.
    You’re a full blown fucktard.

    How disappointing. You seem unable to keep up.
    Keep up? You’ve been lapped a couple of times.

    Fuck off

    I haven’t been receiving the volume of estate tax payments you imagine I have. It’s funny that none of you hens has addressed the behavioral response to estate taxes. Raising revenue is not the sole purpose.

    It's weird. But for a brief period of time when I had absolutely no money when I was at college, and everyone else was going on fancy spring break or Christmas skiing vacations and I was going back home to work I've never felt envious of other peoples wealth. I was 19 felt it was unfair that I had to work while others went to play. But then I grew up and realized life wasn't fair and instead of dwelling on the things I didn't have I started to focus on what I did have. Sitting around thinking anyone owes you a living is a life for losers.

    Maybe having been a dirty fucking liberal in the 80s is your problem. I never resented that I had to work or envied anyone who didn’t.

    Yeah but you were a conservative then who voted for Reagan. So now you're old and a middling attorney and you want to put the screws to the guys who kicked you off the partner track or who were smarter and more successful than you. You'll show them, for not recognizing your genius.
