OK
How exactly would you run the USA with no taxation?
I will have to admit it is fun to see you talk yourself into a corner and then avoid the topic while in your typical mis-direct mode.

Nothing inteligent again. You cant answer. OK
You know YOU are the one that stated this, not I, so, how would you do it?
You argue against taxation at every opportunity, but won't tell us your alternative way of funding the country. We can draw our own conclusions.

Your one warning. Both of you cut it out.

Sir, we were talking about "inheritance" taxes or death taxes. I do not know where you got to "all" taxes. And, once again you mischaracterize my positon on taxes. Taxes are a necessary evil. Confiscatory taxes kill economies and give the govenment the power. Now, do you want to return to the topic we started on that was the death tax?

Misleading misnomer: it isn't a death tax, the dead person has no tax liability.
Please explain why an inheritance tax (with a huge exemption, currently at $2million) is worse than, say, a sales tax or the income tax or an excise tax on gasoline or cigarettes.

Why should inheriting a valuable farm or business be treated any differently from inheriting the same value in stocks, antiques, or cash?
Because equities and cash can easily be divided up, while a farm or business cannot. They're not nearly as liquid. I gave some illustrations.

My point exactly.
Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful.

Why does it need to be worse?

Inconvenient, maybe. But what exactly does that have to do with paying your fair share to govern the country? Why should you pay less JUST because of your parents' choice of business? And you only have to pay anything at all if the farm is worth more than $2Million.

Inconvenient? How about the tax is putting a lot of family run business to close there doors because they cannot afford it. Is that fair?
If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
QuoteQuoteQuoteQuoteSo If I go out and Earn $1 Million, Pay all the taxes on that money at the time I earn it. Shouldn’t it be mine to do with as I please? I earned it. I paid the taxes on it.
Just because I give it to someone else, Why should it be taxed again?
Every dollar in circulation is taxed over and over and over again as it circulates within the economy. Your argument is quite illogical.
Nice job on using a tangential (but basically irrelevant) concept to discount his point.
Illogical.
His point is invalid. That's why inheritance taxes exist.
Your attempt at nitpicking is invalid too, as usual.
What is the justification of tax-free gifts, up to $10,000.00?

Why should you pay anything at all? Just borrow the money the government needs to run the country, it's the Reagan/Bush way.

Beats me. A sop to those wealthy enough to make gifts of $10k, maybe.
