Iโ€™m fine with that opinion, but I donโ€™t agree. Do you really even?

Yes. I believe in the principle of ownership. There is no comparison between someone living off of welfare, which means money which he doesn’t own, and earned or even inherited wealth, which he does.

I have no problem with abolishing the inheritance tax, but it’s not so terrible if it’s a relatively low percentage. Higher percentages are referred to as “confiscatory”, and are basically stealing someone’s money. You seem to think once the government has the right to tax, it’s fine for them to tax at any rate. I strongly disagree. It has to be reasonable, not just taxing simply because the money is there.
