who can leave his kids half a mil to buy a hose or finish college.
Also simply because you are paying taxes at multiple levels, state and
federal, does not mean there is no impact.

You know this how? It's never been fully implemented anywhere.
Also lets look at two taxes here for a second.
1. Capitol Gains Tax.
a. I make a wage from work. This is taxed as income.
right...
b. I purchase stocks or bonds with some of this wage to invest for my
future. This may be subjected to sales tax (depends on where and why).
sales tax has absolutely nothing to do with the federal government.
c. I chose a good stock and it profits so I sell it. This is taxed again
as
a capitol gain, and as income.
yes - on the profits - otherwise, it's untaxed revenue.
d. I start over again, with the same original money which has now been
taxed
as much as four times.
nope - not true.
This is insane.
2. Estate Taxes
a. I work for 40 - 60 years and do well for myself. During this time I
pay
all of my various income tax, sales tax, capitol gains tax, and about
1000
different "luxury taxes" like gas booze and smokes
b. I die
c. The gov't takes half of everything I built for no other reason than
it
says so.
Again insane.
No, not insane. Estate taxes were introduced under Teddy Roosevelt's
presidency as a way of avoiding a plutocracy. Makes sense in that light.
F*ck it why work hard?

Of course that's part of it - trickle down economics does not work and
never will.
