Not at all - mirage's response was certainly in line with dreamdancer's characterization of rich people in this and other threads. He certainly didn't make a false pretense (like one that people discussing income tax for 3 pages *really* mean sales tax, say) and argue against that. Nice try.Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.

rehmwa 2 #62 December 24, 2010 This is a really stupid thread - some heirs did plenty to earn their inheritance, some likely did nothing. Either way it doesn't matter. It it's the parent's money, then they can give it to anyone - in return for product or services or just because they feel like it. ...

CanuckInUSA 0 #74 December 24, 2010 You should move to North Korea. I am sure you would be very happy there living knowing that there is no personal wealth and that you are equal to everyone else. Equally screwed that is. Whoever told you that life would be easy, was clearly lying to you. Inheritance taxes are the worst type of taxes as they are taxing assets that have already been taxed. If your beloved big government bureaucracy needs more money because it can't control it's spending, then consumption taxes are a better way to go. This way people can decide for themselves, is paying extra for this product/service worth the extra costs. I choose choice over a government bureaucracy who will be there to raid the assets of a family all because someone dies. But I guess this is something a communist would never understand.
