    Still wondering why rich heirs shouldn't be "double taxed" on the never-taxed capital gains of their parents' wealth but workers need to pay taxes on wages to their state, local and federal governments. What's the argument for that?

        if the panama/paradise papers have shown us anything, it's that they will trickle this money down to everyone and pay their fair share.

        The rich must not be taxed to ensure all income is available for political patronage.

        Most woke people know that, but if your only source of information about the tax cuts is coming from @FoxNews or #Breitbart, you think you're getting a windfall ..... according to GOP spin #TaxReformpic.twitter.com/QE04JniOl4

        Workers are poor and contribute nothing to society. Sarcasm.

        I don’t support repealing the estate tax but it does double-tax the principle (not the gains), which there is no double taxation on state and federal level - the taxes fund different benefits.

        Under principles of taxation, capital gains should be taxed at death and state and local taxes should be non-deductible.
