Hm. A 100% inheritance tax seems like a fair compromise. We are all created equal, are we not?

Oh dear god, I'm arguing with Scarred Child and Mick on this one, but here goes anyway.

As much as I like the idea, my conservative friend has convinced me that a 100% inheritance tax is impossible. Let's say you implement it. What will every rich parent do? Give all their money to their children (at the less than 100% gift tax rate).

Basically you can't have 100% inheritance tax, or any inheritance tax that's higher than the gift tax. And you can't have 100% gift tax (people like to be able to give each other, and their children, gifts).

But I do fully support making the two the exact same rate.

In a thread about how the alt right is a crew of internet trolls who type nothing but 1-line rhetorical fallacies, all of the people who would identify as left are typing nothing but 1-line rhetorical fallacies

It's almost like some of us were deliberately adopting the very techniques long used against us ... but clearly not me, as I obviously failed by being neither brief nor substance-less with this post.
