Can you cite where I said anything about inheritance ? I just have missed that.

The end of the estate tax is brought to us by voters like you. I didn't say you mentioned it. You just voted for it. Something you likely do a lot of: voting for shit you don't understand.

I understand politics well.

Yep, that's why you pulled out a publicity stunt bill announcement to defend an insurrectionist supporter. Because your understanding of politics is oh so keen.

you babble about billionaires and clearly don’t understand wealth.

Income taxes have also fallen over time for the top earners...and that's the people that are being honest about how much money they're making yearly.

In addition, as far as the wealth category, long-term capital gains have the lowest federal tax rates of any type of income.

You don’t realize for most of them, it’s ownership in a company they created. So it is their hard work paying off.

Lol

I'll just start with a counter example of the richest blabber bullshit boy as of late: Elon Musk. Dude's companies are basically two government subsidies stacked on top of each other in a trench coat. Yep. He totally earned his wealth. 👍

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
