@janeadams @quixote @Strandjunker 100% inheritance tax is the logical consequence of taking libertarian arguments about the "meritocracy" seriously. Alas most people don't mean it and get flustered when you take them at their word.

@janeadams @ln @Strandjunker Tax evasion and its loopholes can be plugged or even prevented if the will is there among the powers that be. Mostly, though, the unfortunate reality is they're trying to do just enough to sound good to the have-nots while not really bothering the donor class too much. Not too surprising that never works. |
@ln @quixote @Strandjunker The unfortunate reality is that it would likely just result in more tax evasion loopholes (life insurance anyone?) It sure is a fun exercise though, along with telling conservative libertarians that the most libertarian thing to do would be to eliminate state and national borders entirely, thereby avoiding the immigration problem entirely ("no one can be an illegal immigrant if immigration isn't illegal")
