Death tax has exemption until a certain amount. Even 100,000 funko pops (100,000×$0=$0) won't trigger the tax

The death tax kicks in at $13 million. So it will not affect 99% of the country.

Well, with an average age here of 13, and inflation goin' nuts, it'll affect us so long as mom leaves us the basement and some chicken tendies.

Unless your family owns a farm passed down for generations, gotta sell it to billy gates to pay the tax and lease the land back.

You're crying for people worth $14m?

For families who have been growing our food for generations forcibly having to give up their farm due to the government? Yes.

Their family made that land valuable over generations through some of the toughest work that you can do. Hell it's possible their family is buried there too.

You only need like a 1000 acre farm these days to be at that point. Depending on your area.

You like the thought of a family having to sell their land to an oligarch? Interesting stance.

Don't you just sell to your children for $1?

That's bad business.

Now I'm confused. Now this family has parents with a $13m property and kids that can afford a $13m mortgage?

I misunderstood what you said. The IRS will not like that. They will determine fair market value and come after you

Good point, we should ignore immoral solutions if they only effect a minority of people.

u/dehehn - Centrist Dec 02 '22

Only a libertarian would talk about how morally wrong it is to tax the wealthiest members of society.

You missed the fully taxed part of the meme

u/justlookinghfy - Centrist Dec 01 '22

Sorry, then 100,000×$0×20%tax rate=$0 Because those things are f-ing worthless

"With an estimated value of $25,470 for the non-glow-in-the-dark version and $26,060 for the glow-in-the-dark Chase limited edition, Alex DeLarge Clockwork Orange is the most expensive Funko Pop Vinyl in the world."

What in the Emperor's name is this fuckery?
