People think that they're taxing the mega rich, and getting a benefit... NO! That's not what happens.

Here's what happens:

  • The mega rich hide their money, and don't pay inheritance taxes.

  • The moderately successful, low-figure millionaires are the ones that have to pay inheritance taxes. And it's stupid because: A) They're being double-taxed. B) The mega rich acquire their assets.

So, in effect, inheritance tax transfers wealth to the mega rich, and big corporations. When a farmer's kids have to sell the farm to pay inheritance tax, the people on the lower end of society don't beneft. The farm is going to by scooped up by mega corporations, who will then tighten their control on society. It doesn't have a benefit to the plebs.

The increase in funding and ability to screw us over would just be used to shake us down harder, and regardless of where the money is coming from it's still being used against us. I have no desire to "oppose real money", as that's simply an attempt to maintain a power gap. So much of the shit that's pushed is completely unneeded for maintaining control and shaking down the masses yet it's done anyway.

So you think NOT tracking the actions of mega corporations is going to result in a positive outcome?

Better than the result of even further tracking of every small action and a crack down on everything. Do you want to be investigated for everything even slightly eyebrow raising?
