“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.”
Time to stop engaging in this fantasy about lowering taxes when you have a society filled with old fuckers living on entitlements. The olds are too numerous and too wealthy overall not to be paying more.
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.
Brilliant.
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.
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.
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.
