“Someone else’s money does not belong to you no matter how much they have of it.”
I’m not claiming it belongs to me, but I love that you guys keep robotically making that claim to show how few points you have in your tool box. I’m not on welfare, I don’t want your money, I don’t support redistribution.
“Where do you draw the line?”
That’s always the question. But, claiming relevance in the phrase “double taxation” is not the answer. Almost any time a tax is paid, the money has been taxed before. Individual income taxes are on money that the company was already taxed for, sales taxes are on money the person was already taxed for, gift taxes, etc.
“So suddenly when he dies now we should force the kids and down to work? Why? What changed?”
The same thing in literally every case of taxation: the money changed hands. As for why they should work, the same reason you think the “lazy bums” who are poor should work; it’s a matter of social conservatism more than economic. You guys will only use pejoratives for the unemployed when they’re poor, not when they’re rich. It’s hypocrisy.
