    I think it's the ongoing assault on the middle class
    People who own businesses, worth millions, are not middle class.
    You think all small business owners are worth millions? Then you are brainwashed by Marxists.
    You needed this comment to know that APAG is a naive malcontent who thinks the government needs to regulate his well being?

    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.

    I can’t tell if you’re being intentionally dishonest or you’re just misinformed here but, yes, everyone subject to the estate tax is worth millions.

    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

    Your primary point is that Kobe is clueless and supports whatever gives money to those that haven’t earned it
