As much as I like the idea, my conservative friend has convinced me that a 100% inheritance tax is impossible. Let's say you implement it. What will every rich parent do? Give all their money to their children (at the less than 100% gift tax rate).

Basically you can't have 100% inheritance tax, or any inheritance tax that's higher than the gift tax. And you can't have 100% gift tax (people like to be able to give each other, and their children, gifts).

But I do fully support making the two the exact same rate.
SIR it's rhetorical

I suspected as much, but 100% inheritance tax is a pet peeve of mine so I felt the need to both respond and respond in non-quip form.

I'm a failure.

Let's extend it to people who had a good shit on Saturday morning.

That's privilege, right?

Why stop at inheritance?

What if we just applied the 100% tax directly to the parents?

Inheritance tax is always a funny topic, because it shows the Left's true colors.

Envy.

It must suck to be so envious.

Do you get visibly angry when someone drives by in a Lamborghini?

What goes through your mind? How does it feel to be a hater?

Hater = believing in equality of opportunity?

You're not believing in equality of opportunity by stealing someone's money.
