Republicans Push $269 Billion Handout For Millionaire Heirs And Heiresses

If these people already paid taxes on that money, why should their children have to pay taxes on it too after they die? That's no more fair than me paying tax on my refund they used.

 

You appear to be confused about the actual wording of your question. Maybe you need to rephrase it so it more clearly reflects your mistaken ideas.

 

I love the lefts logic. They claim to no end that they want everybody to be treated equally but they just can't bring themselves to actually practice what they preach.

Keep treating the producers of this country like crap...see how far it gets you.

 

I don't have any problem with taxing large estates on inheritance. Have you ever hung around with snot nosed trust fund babies? Screw 'em. Especially with the obscene amounts of money being swindled by slime bags like Jaime Diamond, Lloyd Blankfein and the Walton's. None of these (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)s have produced anything except fat bank accounts for themselves. Taxing estates over 5 million seems very reasonable to me. I am certain that your tax return for your overpayment in 2014 is not taxable income for 2015. I would not declare it.

 

So that proves what! That more people chose to take their gains at reduced rates because they were afraid the reduced rates would be repealed. And the link doesn't work.

 

Most of the morons who are railing about the so called "death tax" are under the impression that their kids will be taxed on the couple hundred grand they leave to their kids. I'll let you in on a little secret champ. Most of these trust fund babies who will get lots more money from their daddy's will become big wheels in liberal causes like saving spider monkeys in Ghana and environmental whackos who will try to tell you what you can and can not do on your private land. The voters of the GOP are constantly being duped into voting against their own interests and the interests of the working man in general. Our founding fathers were in favor of inheritance taxes because they knew it would deter another crooked aristocracy from establishing itself here in America. I'm with the old, you can't take it with you or leave it to a bunch of spoiled brat kids. If they can't succeed on 5 million and 40% of the next 100 million, screw 'em. Cheers

 

put this in a blog as it's nothing more than pure conjecture

 

I didn't ask a question I made a statement about the motivation for liberal taxation.

Over taxing the wealthy accomplishes three things for liberalism.

1. It secures votes by pandering to the class warfare drones by stealing money from people who, in their opinion, don't deserve it.

2. It provides funds that liberals spend on other pandering issues in order to secure votes.

3. I strips opponent supporters of funds they would otherwise potentially spend securing votes for their opponent.

The entire upper tier agenda of liberalism is to keep the liberal elite in power, not to actually do very much of anything.

 

and hopefully you can explain how that differs from the Conservative agenda. Maybe provide examples of legislation proposed by Conservatives to limit the influence of large doners, both individual and corporate, in politics.

 

I didn't advocate taxing capital gains at a higher rate than employment income! I advocated equal taxation for all income. And the arguement that this would be harmful to the economy is clearly disproved by the fact that the taxation rates were equal in the past with a better economy then we have today.

 

Be that as it may or as you think. What I can't understand is how over the last 30-40 years people have come to think others have the responsibility taking care of yourself. That it is perfectly alright to take what others worked for, earned away from them and give it to those who didn't. Why we expect others to take care of us, not us ourselves. We have taken individual and community responsibility and thrown it out the window. Now it is the world that is responsible for us, not ourselves. We are jealous because our neighbor makes more and has a better house. Since our neighbor has better stuff and more money, it is our right to take some of his for us or me.

He may have worked harder, made more right decision with his life, set a goal and followed it. We may have made many wrong and stupid decision in our life, failed to work or strived for improvement, yet we are not responsible for that. Others are and others owe us a livelihood, others need to take care us, we need to take from others so I or we can have ours without even trying. We like others being responsible for us, especially government. Personal responsibility is a thing of the past.

 

Your Federal refund is not taxable income, but your state refund is because it was deducted from your Federal return last year. That means you didn't pay tax on it the first time.

Good! $269B out of the hands of govt and into the hand of free people. VERY good news.

 

Free people are much better at spending money/allocating resources than politicians. GREAT NEWS.

 

Yah, just what we need - More Kardashians and Paris Hiltons to further derange, dilute and damage our youth.

Patronizing leeches. All of them.

 

corporate greed is un-Christian and un-American

 

You know, we are often taxed repeatedly on the same monies. My paycheck is taxed, and then every item I buy with that money is taxed. I don't know why people are using the "but I've already been taxed once" defense for the inheritance tax....
