    A 55% tax rate on inheritance at any point in our history is insane.

      Only 0.2% of families in the US pay any inheritance tax because it only applies to the very rich who of course usually spend money on expensive accountants to avoid it.

        I’d do the same thing if I were rich.

        The tax code has so many loopholes but it was the politicians who put those loopholes in. The same politicians who are rich themselves. The same politicians who say that rich people need to “pay their fair share”. I hate that saying.

          What Nick said is true though. Trumps dad made most of his fortune from tax payers by gaming a system of grants provided by the government to build housing. If when he died would it have been unreasonable for 55% of the $413 million to go back to the US taxpayer rather than letting his son piss it all away on casinos? The Trumps paid around 5% tax and lied throughout.

          The president has long sold himself as a self-made billionaire, but a Times investigation found that he received at least $413 million in today’s dollars from his father’s real estate empire, much of it through tax dodges in the 1990s.

            I’m sure he did game the system. I just think a 55% inheritance tax is ridiculous when it was already taxed. The government has wasted so much money they don’t need to double tax any income.

              There are a lot of people gaming the system. Putting one on trial and letting others slide is not a good policy.
              Writing In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless.

                "Gaming the system" is one thing. Raping, pillaging and robbing it is completely another. The same fucking assholes that decry welfare, SNAP, bartenders and servers not claiming all their cash tips are the ones the most fine with people like Trump embezzling from corporate welfare and outright fraud...

                  Oh fucking poor, poor Donald Trump. Fucking cry me a river. The only reason he is not in a Fed or State prison is that HE HAS FUCKING MONEY! There are thousands of lessor privileged that have had their businesses seized, been ruined, or worse for doing far less that what Trump has done...

                    Nickdfresh, you need to save some of this venom for when Trump is president, you don't want to spend it all now when you're looking at 4 solid years ahead of you! Maybe switch to cuntplaining about all the illegal shit the current president is doing? Spread it around!

                      When I said gaming the system I was talking about his father.

                      The reason Trump lost this civil case was blatant repeated fraud and then lying about it and then when banged to rights refusing to accept he had done anything wrong. That tends to piss off judges.

                      Lots of people have been put on trial in NY for the kind of frauds Trump did.

                        He's complaining now because a few years of an authoritarian Putin style Trump presidency and no one will be complaining...publicly.

                          This sounds like a similar refrain I'd always hear during Trump's first term. Yes, the man's a dick, but I just don't see how he brings a dictatorship style. As in free speech will vanish. Heck, today your children can be taken away from you if you don't let them identify as another sex and let them get 'gender affirming' surgery. I long for a presidency that puts nonsense like that to a halt.

                            Yeah but that's not true even in California. :D

                              I believe it's true in the State of Washington. As for the shithole California, everyone will get a taste of life there as Democratic policies spread to all the US if the Gavin Newsoms of the world get to expand their liberal practices (homelessness, crime, taxes to the tits) nationwide.

                                Well I love false equivalency. Gee, what illegal things had Biden done. The fuckwwits you tend to vote for have tried really really hard but can't seem to do anything but shit themselves...
