The 100% inheritence tax system which I proposed wouldn't reward Blacks any more than Whites.
It would tax all inheritences and evenly divide them between every citizen.
It's probably an unworkable plan, but I like to drag it out to prove to people that -- contrary to what the masters and their obsequious servant classes tell us about how they like hard work and merit -- they no more want a level playing field that rewards merit than they want another crack in the asses.
What they want is to have and give to their children the enormous advantage of starting out with a shitload of money.
Bascially everything that comes out of the propaganda machine of the master class is a lie.
The fact that so many working class Americans fall for it, is a testament to the power of propaganda.
Among other things, yes it would. Were this plan to really be put into effect it would cuase and economic clusterfuck so enormous that nobody would ever be able to get things right again.
Yup, it would certainly encouraage profligate spending, I agree.
Sell it and return the procedes to the surviving citizens of the nation equally.
Yup, it would TOTALLY alter our value system, I completely agree.
No.
It might have to, who knows?
Come on now. You're a realist. When has the government EVER held itself to the same laws it imposes on us?
Of course it wouldn't impose such responsibility on itself. It would exempt itself from that onus.
Proabaly not since autos are not investments but expenditures. It would probably increase sales of cars.
See above
Obviously shares owned by the deceased would sold by the government and the procedes given to living Americans...assuming you could find anyone interested in buying them or any other investments.
Did you actually miss the part in my post where I noted that even I THOUGHT the idea was unworkable?
Government doesn't NEED a recipe for mismanagment.
Fairness? WE all know life ain't fair, right?
There ya go...lets
No problem.
You're actually the first person with enough balls to even ask these excellent questions.
Usually people are so utterly appauled that they just start screaming COMMUNISM and stop thinking.
A link would save you needing to repeat yourself. Assuming you can be bothered to answer my rambling stream of consciousness!
Life is a rambling stream of consciousness, amigo.
Some of us just ramble in more interesting ways than others.
I usually pull out the Editecian 100% inheritence tax when people start Whining to us about a FAIR system of taxation.
My plan is just as STUPIDLY FAIR as the FLAT TAX and VAT tax, but you are apparently the first person on this board to even begin thinking about how FAIR does not always mean WORKABLE.
That's the whole reason I keep this chestnut in reserve, you see?
To show people that simplistic FAIRNESS is not always RIGHT.
It could also "inspire" more to leave their earthly goods to charity.... or their cats....
