re: #766 Aceofwhat?

You’re not following existing demarcation, because existing demarcation is to tax the gifts to family members.

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?

The ones that say that any contract between me and a friend is identical to one with a family member with the same language.

As far as economic stuff goes, family members really aren’t that privileged by law. Aside from your spouse, that is— and you’ll note that’s a non-blood family member.

Hell, I don’t even know what you mean when you say ‘family’? Do you mean your second cousins? Just descendants?
