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.

You're assuming that because you live under a corrupt jewish government that the only system that could replace it is a corrupt jewish one.

The current system is designed to allow the wealth of the top 1% to snowball in perpetuity while the middle class is taxed so heavily it's impossible to ever work your way out. A lean government could run exclusively off death taxes and tarriffs without the need for an income tax. Would that not be a more fair system? Stealing from the dead rather than the living?
