Abolish INHERITANCE....!!!

[RyanH]

Typical democrat, maybe we should all leave our wealth to some minority group to send blacks to college or buy mexicans their hairnets.

Or maybe we should leave our wealth to establish a trust for victims of hate crime....i.e. the KKK lynching some innocent bystander because of the color of his skin, or an African American hard-working citizen being pulled by a truck, treated as nothing more than disposable property.

But that's not as important as a few white males being precluded from the ivy league school of their choice because a few college seats are reserved for the disadvantaged?

That's all in good, but HOW would you get a bill like that passed? We all know that money influences politicians and there is no way that they would vote for something like that in behest of their wealthy 'constituents'
BTW..you should then also abolish all types of trusts, where money can be passed tax-free to beneficiaries, and have to change corporate law also. Even if you have no inheritance allowed, there will be ways around it

Gift and estate taxes still apply to most trusts.

that's totally different.....

Not really. How bout we privatize Social Security, abolish death taxes, and permanently increase GDP by 5%? (Before you ask, that estimate is by Martin Feldstein of Harvard University)

African American hard-working citizen
Where?

And...those whitetrash guys that killed them were sentenced to death thanks to the Republicans.

Too bad more blacks have been tried for hate crimes than whites.

I don't go to an Ivy league school. But I do go to a school that's still fighting for race-based admissions. Therefore, I am qualified to call bullshit.

I never said that it will happen, I'm just posing a hypothetical scenario that I deem desireable.

But maybe some bold state like Vermont or Massachusetts will stop forward and say..........."put that last will and testament down.....that money belongs to society after you're dead."

Fine, enjoy your money while your living, but after you're dead, that money should go back to where it came from-----society's hands.

And so will mark the end of every parent's dream for their children to be better off than they are.

If there's one thing many Republicans are attracted to---it's death.....i..e. their love for the tobacco industry or their fascination with guns and the gas chamber.

The Republican party of "God" is really the Party of "death and dung"......(to quote T.S. Eliot.)

Why shouldn't a child have to grow-up and work hard, like his parents? On the one hand, you endorse capitalism, but on the other hand you want to pass it down for rich kids to sit on their asses and control much of the nation's economy....until the end of time.

Where's the logic in that?

Everyone benefits from race-based admissions in the end...it's necessary to level the playing field......
