what exactly did heirs do to earn this $ other than being born into that family? this isnt a monarchy and never has been. heirs didnt work a day in their life to earn anything, so why should they be able to get everything for free?
and the constitution gives the government to right to collect taxes... or did you forget about that little clause... if you did its article 1, section 8 as well as the 16th amendment.
Were you dropped on your head as a baby? No, seriously, were you? My father-in-law gave my son his father's (f-i-l's dad and my sons great grandfather) shotgun. It was a family posession handed down from generation to generation. Should my son have been taxed by the government for this family gift? It doesn't matter if it is a gun, a family picture album, a doily, your old man's fishnet stocking leg lamp or his monetary fortune. You posess it and it is yours to do what you choose with it. Why the fuck should the government be entitled to take a portion of my hard earned wealth I want to pass to my son so they can give it to some crack whore mother so she can have things she didn't work for. Hell, if she wants some of my money, she can come ask for a handout. I'm a very charitable person. But I decide how and where my money goes. I don't need the gubmint being the middle man. If you decided you need a piece of my financial pie and went about coming in my house to confiscate it for yourself, I'd be justified in a court of law for putting a nice grouping in your chest to stop you. Why should the gubmint be able to do by force what citizens are not allowed to by gubmint law?
Get it thru your head. A person's possessions belongs to them and they can do with it what they will and can give it to whoever they choose. You are not entitled to it if they don't want you to have it and the gubmint shouldn't be able to take it by force and give it to you. If they do.......what are you going to give in return?
gifting and estate taxes are separate issues. and since the gun falls under the limit, its not taxed anyway. try again......
also, if you wanted to legally pass on your estate and it was over the $5M threshold, go hire and lawyer and he will be able to limit the estate taxes. stop making excuses.
You don't know anything about the death tax and how it pertains to your estate, do you? Everything you own to include: collectables, old hand me down possessions, bank accounts, IRAs, pensions, annuities, home, business, stocks, bonds, etc. ... EVERYTHING of financial value you own, gets assessed and taxed. If all you've obtained at the end of your life happens to add up to $1 million (in some states), you will be slapped with a hefty death tax. Why do we hear about families having trouble receiving farms that their family has owned, because the government wants to receive a greedy cut on all their assets to include land value?
Big Government is always looking to create and maintain a people that depends upon them to supply their needs, they can not STAND to see anyone reach beyond their "middle class" status. Big Government enjoys putting citizens under their thumb of control, and love it when the poor can't make it beyond their status. Less income means greater control the government can maintain over you out of "dependency". I like to refer to this type of fixation as the "pacifier" entitlement system, and Big Government LOVES it because it means greater Government power and less individual freedoms. In other words, you become an addict to Big Government dependency, and the Federal Government becomes your dealer for that next "big FIX".
The enemy to any Big Government dependency is: (1) hard work, (2) education, and (3) accepting personal responsibility. If you're not successful at obtaining financial independence and personal freedom, it's because you are lacking in one of the three.
