Why cut the estate tax?
I do not understand why everyone is so down on this tax? The wealthy have never paid tax on the majority of their wealth. When they die seems like a good time for pay back to the system that allowed them to get that rich.

At the level it is at now it does not double tax in most cases. Bill Gates has never paid tax on his stock gains as he did not sell. His whole wealth could be passed down tax free. Close the loops holes and make it 20% or something reasonable. No one one will whine if they only inherit 8million and not 10million.

<insert a bullshit excuse like it helps family farms and small businesses>
The wealthy are greedy and will do whatever it takes to keep it and the sheeple agree with them Notice how all the tax loopholes stay in place........ Look at the Walton's and Walmart. A good % of their employees get aid from the government Chump's family will save billions if you believe he is as wealthy as he claims

Problems arise when people try to make a career of low value work. If they enjoy that kind of work they should start their own company that specializes in that work for businesses that want to outsource it and open up the possibility of making six figures a year (cleaning, inventory, etc). Unfortunately, many long term minimum wage employees are low IQ (possibly to the point of high functioning retardation) and unable to see a path out of these jobs. These are the people you see on TV protesting McDonald's for a "living wage." |

You really have it all wrong.
There is to gain or loss on a capital asset until it is sold (or possibly bartered in trade).
If you buy a house you bought it with after tax earnings -- so why should your heir pay tax -- unless there is a realized gain. When you die why should your wealth still have its tax standing? It makes no difference to you -- you are dead. Stocks and bonds (as well as other financial instruments) are treated for FMV the same way. Persons that get the capital stock in a corporation get it for funding that new corporation with after-tax monies. People that exercise stock options pay for them at the option price and pay income tax on the option price. When they sell the stock acquired they pay capital gains tax or income tax if the stock is sold in less than one year. If you hold and don't sell something there is no realized gain for tax purposes. It would be more honest and simple (as well as fairer) to just raise the personal income tax rate on people earning (realizing net income) over 20 times the federal poverty rate (about $300K) . Maybe add a super income tax rate (surcharge) too. |

A friend of mine recently lost her father. He owned an apartment complex, a nice house, a vacation home, two nice cars... Once she sat down with his accountant she discovered the truth. The apartment complex hadn't made money in some time and was failing, and was behind on all of it's bills. To continue his lavish lifestyle he refinanced his house taking most of the money out of it. The vacation home wasn't his home at all but a lease, one of the cars was leased and she had to pay to get rid of it, and the other car was worth less than was due on it. He also had $100k in credit card debt. On paper she inherited millions. But the reality is she had to pay taxes on a business that was failing and a house that was completely underwater. She went straight into bankruptcy because of all of this, but still had to pay taxes on it. Thankfully my mother and I have already prepared for this.

Because the 1% decide the politicians, they decide the rules.

So you're saying if someone owns a $10 million apartment complex but owes $10 million on it when they die their heirs are going to owe $4 million in taxes? Bullshit. |

A mortgage or trust deed has to be paid in full before you can inherit the property (with a few executions (possibly)).
Either the cash in the estate pays it (possibility by the sale of other assets) or the property is (usually) sold to the highest bidder at the probate court sale or possibility at a trustee's sale. |

I have no idea where the controversy is. You work hard your whole life so you can leave what you earned to your kids. Not leave half to your kids, the other half to the government.
How would you feel if this tax applied to everyone including you? That half of what your parents left you would be taxed, and then half of what you leave to your kids would be stolen by the government too. Would you be just as excited about this tax? Of course your response will be "but they are rich, so [some bullshit reason]", which really translates to "the tax doesn't apply to me, so fuck them".

I am very glad only a small portion of my father's estate was taxable; splitting it among 10 kids was one thing, including the government would have made it a pittance. |

If you think the people donating money to politicians to get what the average person wants. You're delusional. It's happening in Europe as well, but here when it gets exposed it's a scandal. |

This tax only hits the rich. I will not be hit by it or would not as we speak. 98% of the US population will avoid it. Ok so it hits the truly wealthy. If someone accumulated billions and needs to pay tax on his untaxed wealth at death, it seems a fair trade off. No heirs are going begging at this point. We do need to pay the govt bills. Paying tax when I die seems like a decent trade off.
