Bormio Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 Because a “wealth tax” sounded so …. socialist. Just rename it and think we won’t notice. Apparently now we are going to have to disclose all our wealth to the IRS, so they can help themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBP66 Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 Sort of like how the Republicans call the Inheritance tax the "Death tax"...the tax that less than 1% of Americans pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to read more about this but, alas, you never link anything and instead just vomit silly stream-of-consciousness thoughts without context.

It's a weasel word which you seemed to detest in your initial post. But silly me. That was to ostensibly protest something that a Democrat would do. That makes Dr. Quack angry!

Only 0.2% of estates are actually subject to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
