You may want to get that checked out.

You may also want to review rule 4



Is it really too much to ask you to either reply to the question that you reproduce in your post before you go to standard Turtle Talking Point #4 or to not reproduce it altogether and just go to your canned schtick?

why don't you explain that comment
 
TurtleDude said:
more nonsense. You seem to try to justify an unfair surtax on a small group on the grounds that they can try to avoid it. That's like saying if you get robbed its your fault-if you had better locks, a stronger door and a good alarm system you could have minimized the loss due to a burglar

Gee. Two more examples of serial failure to muster any sort of actual response at all. Who would have expected something as pathetic as that?

So you really believe that a person can die, pass on stocks valued at, say, 6 million dollars, with a basis of 1 million, and then cash those stocks an NO taxes have ever been paid on the 5MM income. That's absolutely not right.

Just more welfare for the rich. They are already champions of sucking at the public teat, but some of them just won't be satisfied.

more envy and spite

how many of the top one percent can you prove fit your idiotic stereotype.

I was referring to the tax on inheritance, not capital gains taxes. I agree that the basis has to be accurately maintained when the stocks are inherited.

Under current law, if an asset was purchased by a decedant for $100,000 and is now worth $10,000,000, an heir receives the asset with the stepped-up basis of $10,000,000. That means NO CAPITAL GAINS TAX AT ALL WILL EVER BE PAID on the $9,900,000 capital gain. It either gets taxed under the estate tax or the whole enchilada will simply become yet more something-for-nothing free money for the silver-spoon rich.

that is not an argument for the death tax

and since the rich already pay a massive amount of the income tax why are you so enamored with making them pay even more tax that no one else pays?

When they remake GONE WITH THE WIND with puppets. Until then, it will be talking points #1 -14 as normal.

When will you get a clue? Nobody is upset at the term itself. After all, its just another extremist neologism intended to fool the unsuspecting into betraying their own self interest. Its the sheer evil purpose of the user that is upsetting.

several of us already educated you on the fact that the term neologism is not accurately applied to death tax

Someone earned the money though, and it wasn't the government, it wasn't anyone enrolled in government services, it was the deceased and that person is the only one who should make the final decisions on who gets to partake when they have passed.

Someone earned it but the people inheriting didn't.

they probably did far more to earn it than the government that already took a huge cut while it was being made

wealth looters...lol....the term doesnt bother me, it isnt accurate, and it is funny watching you constantly use it, pretending that it describes what happens...the act of your death, or that of anyone else, is not taxed, why do you want to pretend that it is?

i find it hard to believe that you could 'educate' anyone, when you don't know anything about the subject you are discussing.

well given I was the executor of my parents (both of them) estates and there was the death tax involved, I certainly know more than you will ever know on this
