By the way, Juris Dictum's point two is why I said, i'm not opposed to raising the estate tax on inheritences over 1million, but that there should not even be an estate tax on values below that.

1 million, in today's economy is 1 single-family home in one of the competitive major cities throughout the country. It's enough to possibly get through all the red tape regulating the starting of a modest business with the ability to hire an employee or 3.

Daffy and Bugs then decided to go full retard, and this is what i mean by entirely lacking prudence/temperence.

Finally traced your logic line with the genetics argument, good job for thinking it through. You're still in the weakling subsect.

In regards to inheritance, shouldn't an indiviual be able to determine what haopens with the money upon their death since they earned it in the first place?

Just because you are rich does not mean you are an oligarch.

Sure.

But what if all the money came from robbing banks? Seems fucked up that we actually find all this money stolen from banks, and then have to leave it alone because the motherfuckers the stole it died and left to their kids.

This is situation we are currently in. We know the vast majority of old wealth is ill-gotten. But we got to pretend some stupid rich kids are somehow entitled to it....

Plato knew there could never be meritocracy with everyone stashing money and pulling strings for their kids -- trying to establish dynasties etc....

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. And one of those good intentions is trying to give your kids a leg up. When everyone does this for long enough...meritocracy erodes and despotism because accepted fact -- the way things always were..

Robbing banks is clearly prohibited by law, but "ill-gotten" is just the poor's perspective.

No. There are laws like no insider trading and no bribing politicians. We have proven that particular people did break the law to achieve their wealth. Nothing is ever done about that. It is not acknowledged.

This isn't even including issues of unjust laws. If we start considering how blacks were -- ya know -- enslaved...its pretty hard to talk about what a great businessman Jefferson was with a straight face.

I do not care about rich people. Like, at all. Especially the ones that would be subjected to the highest tiers of our tax system.
