I think it's the ongoing assault on the middle class
People who own businesses, worth millions, are not middle class.
And you're implying that if someone built up a business to be worth millions, that it's okay for the government to seize half? Think about what you're saying.

He has though about it. His position is yes, the government is entitled to half of your work, even though you paid taxes on it already during your life once, once you die. To redistribute as they see fit. APAG, and many others like him, are 100% on board with this. So much for the American Dream.
It won't stop there. Went to Walmart the other day to by some DEF fluid, and 5pm on a Thursday, there was only one check stand open and everything else was self checkout. I would guess that there were maybe 5 employees total working the floor (counting the two working checkout).
People are refusing to work until they get a "fair" wage. Unfortunately, for these morons, their definition of a "fair" wage is about 30%-40% more than what the market will pay. Expect to see more and more of these businesses to find ways to do more with less staff, and these people waiting for a "fair" wage will wait themselves into welfare and homelessness. Then with fewer tax payers and more Kobe's sucking up resources, taxes will need to jump into the 50's, or the government will be forced to default, which it won't do.

Have you ever made your own money, or have you always lived off others?
Ironic considering the subject of the thread.
Who cares? That clearly has no value. If it did, you guys wouldn’t be sobbing over exactly how much the children of millionaires should inherit.
Obviously you failed economics, because you lack little to no understanding of how a business operates. Say Dad passes away from his manufacturing company, and said company is now valued minus liabilities at roughly $6.5 million dollars. If dad founded said company, then you are looking at a capital return of $6.5 million in value. If you tax 50%, that creates a tax bill of $3.25 million. Do you think the business has reserves in place for that kind of bill? So what can the kid's do? Sell the business, or liquidate a large portion of the company's assets (machines, supplies, inventory) to cover the cost. In essence, the government takes a soundly ran family owned business, and turns it into a shell of it's former self. More often enough liquidating the business into bankruptcy or forcing a quick sell to a conglomerate. Which then restricts competitions, and helps create an oligopoly in even more segments of the economy. Great thought process genius. Now I can see why you hate standardized testing so much.

The one thing you’re missing in this is that a business like this is one that likely is operating on a working line of credit at most but to satisfy the tax burden would either need to leverage either the business with debt or themselves with debt to keep the business afloat
People like Kobe don’t understand that small family owned businesses (particularly ones that pass from generation to generation) are foundational elements of this country

Very good point. Definitely missed that
Your primary point is that Kobe is clueless and supports whatever gives money to those that haven’t earned it
