If it's not, then logically a 100% inheritance tax must be imposed. After all, nobody is entitled to money just for being born, right?
In that case, I would burn all my money rather than pay it in taxes before I died. Just put every single penny you have into Bitcoin or something and then purposely delete the private keys.
Why not donate everything to charities you support instead?
Because I don't really know of any charities that I would support, but I could support some sort of open source software, I guess, like donate everything to fdroid, or something.
FOSS related: The Free Software Foundation, The Software Freedom Conservency, The Software Freedom Law Center, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (aka the EFF), Debian, the Mozilla Foundation, the Document Foundation (aka Libreoffice)...
In the long run, nearly the same effect as 100% inheritance tax anyways.
The government won't know the cash has been removed from the economy, but it'll have been removed all the same.
Not really because I sure as hell wouldn't be paying it to the government.
They'll just print it regardless.
Pretty spiteful of you
Not to mention anti-social.
By not paying it to the government, I am not personally supporting killing people across the world. So it seems like the moral thing to do.
Children like you are exactly why we should do this.
