re: #750 Obdicut

Right. And the estate tax is fair because it’s taxing unearned income, or a gift, or whatever you want to call it. Money is changing hands, and it’s not fair to not tax that money because it’s inheritance, but tax someone else for actually working hard to earn the same amount of money.

Not fair to whom?
And why are we concerned about fairness to the people who don’t have that money, but unconcerned about fairness to the person who does have the money?

And you keep bringing up the “income” idea - if it is income, as you say, then why is it taxed as an “estate” tax and not as income tax?
