Bill Gates insults Sandy

Philanthropy.

Lol

Ok, Sure

Let me ask you this. Since Bill does it better, why don't we just outsource it all to him?

Yeah steal money from people when they die that they have already been taxed on.

Why can't you lefty fucks earn your own money? Oh yeah an IQ like liquid nitrogen.

I love the “taxation is stealing” and “double taxation” lies. Smells like idiocy!

I don’t know that he does it better. But if you didn’t understand that ideas behind tax policy include incentives to avoid taxation by doing things we value, then you’re really playing one-dimensional checkers, at best.

You're playing with a short deck.

I never claimed to be a one-dimensional checkers expert.

That’s prudent. You shouldn’t start now.

Last month no one was talking about it, this month Howard Schultz is running for president because of it and Bill Gates is talking about it.

I know you guys like to pretend you’re not scared but, honestly, how fucking stupid would you have to be to not be scared?

I'm taxed on dollars earned and reported as taxable income (once), and I accumulate that income in an investment or bank account, paying taxes on dividends and interest earned (new income earned - and taxed a first time), when I die the government then taxes those dollars AGAIN.

If that's not double taxation, what is it?

You won't be taxed when you die. And the estate tax. The overwhelming majority of the amount that is taxed is unrealized capital gains that hasn't been taxed yet.
