It is NOT the job of the government to subsidize risk by private individuals in private ventures investing their own private money.
When money changes hands from one owner to a new owner, it is normal for it to be taxed. My wages work like that - your salary works like that... money is taxed over and over and over again when it changes hands from one owner to another.
giving people money because they are too stupid, too lazy or too untalented to earn it on their own is subsidizing sloth
no its not normal for gifts to be taxed and its not normal for most estates to be taxed so cut the crap. you are not being truthful on that count
