Time for them all to move.HHusky said:“Though rising total spending on the old is justified, a full-scale gerontocracy is not. Retirees with deep pockets do not need public handouts. On the contrary, they should bear a heavier burden as taxes shift from wages, towards property, inheritance and consumption.”

So you believe that people should be taxed even more again when inheriting property or other assets that were ultimately paid for with after tax dollars in the first place.HHusky said:“Though rising total spending on the old is justified, a full-scale gerontocracy is not.

Assuming you’re talking about some sort of “fairness” concept, it should be pointed out that the appreciation on these assets was never taxed and that large estates are primarily composed of appreciated assets.Kaepsknee said:

You still buying the bullshit that we’re primarily talking about family businesses? Hate to break it to you, but we’re primarily talking about financial instruments. There is data on this you know. -

I could be retarded like you and just say that we will never raise taxes so we NEED to cut spending
But I'm not a retard
If you really want to raise taxes then spending has to be cut for any hope of anyone going along with the government robbing them some more
50% already goes to some kind of fucking tax
A point you have failed miserably to dispute

The only time a rat like HH will mock "fairness" is when he wants to take your money for his politics. Otherwise "fairness" is every rats favorite word when they are trying purchase votes and enslave voters.HHusky said:

Hey HH, it isn't your money. You did shit to earn it or pay taxes on it the first time. Keep your fucking hands out of others pockets. The capital gains force many to liquidate the asset, that may not bother you because rats like to take other peoples money but it isn't right. Besides, the total collected isn't even going to move the needle when we are talking about rats spending trillions upon trillions.
How fucking vapid one must be to be a rat and believe that forcing people to sell the family farm so that rat politicians can piss the money away is a good and just thing to advocate?
The government never needs to increase taxes. They need to cut spending. -
