You could be practicing voluntary socialism now, you know. Why aren't you?HHusky said:
It is great. Are you just squeezing your $20 million fortune to your chest, waiting to give your kids a “leg up” when you’re dead, and resenting the tax on that last $9 million? You could give them something now, you know.RaceBannon said:
Isn't it great that you have the freedom to do so? Feel free to send a few million my way if the guilt gets to be too much for youHHusky said:
I’m just trying to figure out who the ultra-wealthy people are whose kids don’t get a “leg up” until they die. I’m not ultra wealthy or dead, yet my wife and I have given our kids a leg up in multiple, expensive ways. They are fortunate. We have been fortunate too. If we leave them $12 million dollars, I think they’ll manage to benefit even if $1 million of it is heavily taxed.creepycoug said:
Quite a leg up. He has said in interviews on this subject that he wouldn't leave them enuff to do nothing, but enuff to do something.HHusky said:
True. He’s also giving his kids a “leg up”.creepycoug said:

Yeeup. It is another revenue source and represents a policy against family dynasties. The Coors family railed against it.dflea said:
You or your heirs pay.PurpleThrobber said:HHusky said:
I love the “taxation is stealing” and “double taxation” lies. Smells like idiocy!Sledog said:
Yeah steal money from people when they die that they have already been taxed on.HHusky said:Bill Gates understands that ultra wealthy people have provided a healthy market to income avoidance and deferral planners. He favors a robust estate tax, which is one good way of getting at the real issue.
Why can't you lefty fucks earn your own money? Oh yeah an IQ like liquid nitrogen.
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?
It's a word game. The man still winds up with the money.
Gates doesn't care because at his level it doesn't really matter. He heirs, and theirs and theirs are going to be fine. Assuming they all did nothing but sit around, the math wouldn't catch up to them for 1,000 years. Bill, like most of us, doesn't care about his lineage that far down the road.
For me, it's real money to my kids and theirs. I have to work around it.

I'm guessing the 'do nothing' part is tuff talk, easy to say when it's far off. But I'd guess the truth is something in between, and his family will have more than enuff to do nothing, but won't control nearly as much wealth as he does. -
He wants to spend your money on all his free shit. Not his!UW_Doog_Bot said:

I’m not ultra wealthy or dead, yet my wife and I have given our kids a leg up in multiple, expensive ways. They are fortunate. We have been fortunate too. If we leave them $12 million dollars, I think they’ll manage to benefit even if $1 million of it is heavily taxed.creepycoug said:
Quite a leg up. He has said in interviews on this subject that he wouldn't leave them enuff to do nothing, but enuff to do something.HHusky said:
True. He’s also giving his kids a “leg up”.creepycoug said:

Yeeup. It is another revenue source and represents a policy against family dynasties. The Coors family railed against it.dflea said:

Yeah steal money from people when they die that they have already been taxed on.HHusky said:Bill Gates understands that ultra wealthy people have provided a healthy market to income avoidance and deferral planners. He favors a robust estate tax, which is one good way of getting at the real issue.
Why can't you lefty fucks earn your own money? Oh yeah an IQ like liquid nitrogen.
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?
It's a word game. The man still winds up with the money.
Gates doesn't care because at his level it doesn't really matter. He heirs, and theirs and theirs are going to be fine. Assuming they all did nothing but sit around, the math wouldn't catch up to them for 1,000 years. Bill, like most of us, doesn't care about his lineage that far down the road.
For me, it's real money to my kids and theirs. I have to work around it.

I'm guessing the 'do nothing' part is tuff talk, easy to say when it's far off. But I'd guess the truth is something in between, and his family will have more than enuff to do nothing, but won't control nearly as much wealth as he does.
