What unearned income?
Would you be okay with paying an inheritance tax based on a government assessment of the value of the inheritance?
How much more do you want them to pay on their income? How will this help if we're borrowing half of what we spend now?
Who is "rich"?
What is "fair share"?
do you know the definition of unearned income, tessa? i am assuming not. long term capital gains is UNEARNED income....which is taxed at 15%. hardly fair, now is it, when you consider that very many wealthy people don't earn salaries, but live on investments.
yes, i am okay with an inheritance tax based on current value of assets. that's the way it used to be.
