Eliminate the Death Tax


 
Just tax the estates of the wealthy while they are still living. And tax them a lot more than the current death-triggered estate tax. Maybe give them a 20% bonus credit for paying the tax with repatriated funds or funds from the sale of foreign assets. That way no one could argue that the tax encouraged disinvestment in U.S. assets.

This idea would let Dems say we eliminated the Death Tax. Indeed, if a person were taxed at a higher level of net worth than they had at their death, we could refund the overage. It would be a Death Refund.

I also have a Balanced Budget Amendment. Any deficit that Congress fails to cover in a given fiscal year would automatically be paid by an excise tax on the net worth of the wealthy. It would be a win-win. Future generations would not be saddled with debt, and the wealthy would finally have "certainty" about the government's finances. We might even have fewer wars.

6. Hmmm...I find it curious you chose to use a Karl rove

Inspired framing...in fact it is not inspired...it is suggested by rove, after testing by Frank Luntz.

Hmmm

Curiouser and curiouser

But THIS gem is the whole reason I brought this over...

36. A constitutional amendment that lets congress spend the wealthy's money as if it's government money?

Sounds like a good idea.

I think the reason repukes and Democrats disagree so much on taxes it because repukes have this idea that the money they work for and take home is THEIR money, and when they pay taxes, they're giving THEIR money to the government. They need to look at it as all money they make, the product of their labor, belongs to the GOVERNMENT and what they take home is what the government chooses to let them keep. Their assets, their personal property, they all really belong to the government. The government can take those things (or force them to sell them) whenever they like, if they need the money, or even if they don't. We don't need to address the issue of wasteful government spending, what we really need to fix is problem of some people who have too much money.

Once we address the issue of people having too much money and the we gradually lower what we consider "wealthy" year after year as revenues decrease or spending increases, then we can tackle the government spending problem

Please tell me this is a mole, that nobody really thinks like this...

Fine dummie. Let's start by taking all YOUR money first. If you are on welfare, then we will quit giving you money. If you have no property, we'll take your weed. Sound like a winner?

This is what they call making everyone equally miserable. The goal of all socialist/communist/fascist/progressivists is to eliminate the middle class. Then glorious revolution can happen and unicorn socialist utopia happens. Glorious futire then happens like what went on in 2008 and on... summer of recovery 5!!!!!!!!!111111!!!!1elevinty

Wealth tax--with HUGE penalties for those who try to hide their wealth or move their assets overseas or to lower tax areas, like John Kerry did with his yacht, right DUmmies?

Not John Kerry. He's a democrat. Or the Kennedys. The DUmmies are talking about people who didn't earn their money.

they can not be taxed. They also can not own anything. Everything that was theirs in life should revert to the commons.

35. We need to be honest

ALL of us have what we have because prior generations KILLED innocent people. Think African slave traders. native Americans, Indigenous peoples from around the world.

Stored wealth while people are starving and homeless is a crime against humanity. We are all guilty of it.

How about we start with your stuff DUmmy?
