re: #761 Obdicut

Yes, that’s more what I’m looking for.

So you really do believe that family members ought to be able to transfer money between themselves without paying any tax on it or having that tracked in any way by the government?

And why is your family more private than my close friendship? What objective measure is there that you’re using of privacy to make that demarcation?

Why is my family more private than your close friendship…huh. That one caught me by surprise! I’m not really going to dig up the myriad legal and governmental constructs which treat family far, far differently than friendships. I’m following the existing demarcation, not creating my own. What bundle of rules, laws, and regulations would lead you to believe that the government regards your close friendship with anything similar to the recognition, support, and structure that has been created around immediate family in this country?
