Well the government does not have the constitutional right to take away all of everybodies private property and wealthy and money.I would leave the country if that happened but I do agree taxes are needed.

The US has already had an estate tax so there's no constitutional issues with instating one again.

I am not talking about an partial estate tax per se.I am talking about a 100 percent estate tax on every estate in the country where all of every estate would be totally taken away at death and nobody could inherit money or own private property because that would be communism and the Founding Fathers believed in the right of private property.

I had mentioned an amount falling under a threshold earlier though, so I've never said anything in support of a 100% estate tax.

That one policy on it's own wouldn't be communism though, communism has a broader definition than any one policy could ever cover.

Oh sorry if I was confused.i was referring to the proposal of another poster when i said about the 100 percent estate tax when they said that all inheritances should be disallowed.But your right the estate tax has been ruled consitutional.i did not mean to conflate yalls two posts or proposals.

Going back to the original question reminds me of what this movie critic is saying about the comments from a hollywood actress:

I'm not sure how I feel about taking away inheritance, but I definitely support universal basic income. My Dad was a teen in Dauphin, Manitoba when they did an experiment on UBI, and it made his life and a lot of the lives of people he knew better while it was going on.

With respect to Darwinian evolution hypocrisy seems to be a feature not a bug.

Uh, I don't want to go off half cocked here, so you're going to have to clarify that.

Hehe, the Internet

Is a Big Deal, Something

To Stake All 'Your' Wins

And Losses In Life ON;

Or Maybe Just A Playground

Where Humans Are 'Trapped' to

Study All of What They Do that Works And Does Not Work,

Better Or Less, to Inhale Peace and Exhale LoVE iN This Life...

True Injustice Is What The Most Unlucky Among Us Do Most

Every Day of Their Life

As They Have Yet

to Even Understand

How to Inhale Peace

And Exhale Love; God Yes, Real FRiEnDS

With Gravity This Way; Other than That YES,

This Tiny Sliver, This Tiny Opportunity Among

Vast Space and Hot And Cold Rocks That Don't Support

Life; All the Green And Colors of Living Abundance; All The

Water To Drink; And Air to Breathe; And True, Just About All the

Arts And Sciences

of Humankind

Now Collectables

Online, 'Just' About Freely

Available in Access For More

And More Folks To Partake of

To Expand Their Human Potentials;

Or Just Argue About This or That Or

The Other Thing Like Any 'Gilligan'

Orange Trump

Off An Island

Trying

To Be King

Of Someone Else's World
HAha... Yet You See i am

Only Words on a Page;

And 'The Reverse'

'Wizard of OZ'

Needs no

Curtains in

Real Life to

Hide Who He is...

True Injustice is i am the only

One Who Public Dances Everywhere

They Go in the Deepest 'South of Bible
Belts' in A Radius of About 500 Miles

As True i Have Danced That Far And

Met No One Taking Up 'The Yoke'

Now In 15,688 Miles, in 98 Months;

Yes So Easy That A Meditating
Contemplating Autotelic Flow

of Free Style

Ballet and

Martial Arts Brings

In Ecstatic Bliss; Yes, Every

Move Brings; Yes, FRiEnDS

With Gravity, Virtually Flying

on Terrestrial Land at 242 Pounds

Where Folks Still Beg to Have their Picture

Taken With me; And Young Women Report Back

To Their Parents, They Hope They Were Not Staring too

Hard at me Watching my Dance; HAha as Yah, the Lady

Who Cuts my Hair

Just Reported that
to me on Tuesday

As That Was her
Daughter-in-Law
And Younger Daughter
Reporting Back to Her; Yes,

What's Not Fair, What's Just Not Just

is not Everyone Gets to Experience
Heaven Lucky This Way Everywhere They Dance

Now And Sing too; Yes, No Limits of Free Verse Poetry

Either Around the Globe; For You See No One Around

'Here' Seems to Even Have A Clue How Our Ancestors

Did the Same to Regulate Their Emotions, Integrate Their
Senses, And Actually Connect to Others Deeper As Science

Agrees Our

Ancestors

Were Correct,

And Those Who

Still Love Life Freer this
Way; Moving, Connecting,

And Co-Creating; Meanwhile,

Other Folks Have Become More

The Tools They Create And Sadly

So many of my Peers Get Around in

Walmart Carts to Buy More Stuff to

Fill Up Their Two Car Garages

With Nothing of Value

Lasting To Feel Within;

Yes, it's Truly Unjust

to Live

Somewhere

Where Humans

Have Forgotten

Even How to Be Human;

Hehe of Course only in my Heaven View...

Best Thing of All IS IT Doesn't Cost A Damn

Lincoln Penny For the Heaven of Dance And

Song; Not A Stitch of Clothing Even Required;

Yet True in a World Where God is Money,

Financial

Independence

Does Help the

Dance And Song

to Keep Moving,
Connecting, Co-Creating Freest...

What's Most Unjust is Society Does
Require Sidewalks For Order, And Neatly
Placed Displays, And Aisles in Stores too;

For the Last 98 Months, i Haven't been able
to Afford Any Mistakes for The Reputation it
Takes to be Allowed this Privilege Everywhere i go

Around this Entire Metro Area And Dance Freely This way;

If, It Suddenly Got Popular, i Do Know That Not Everyone

Lives With A Pencil Sharp As Mine; HAha That's The Irony,

The Privilege Comes

From Everyone Else's

Fear, Not Only to be

Free This Way,

Yet Mess

Up This

Way for me...

Again, in this Life,

What You Least Expected to

be the Solutions to All Your Problems

May Be What is Most Fun of All to Do As

It's True, For me at Least, i Must Dance And Sing

A Tight Rope Higher Effortless in Ease to Truly Enjoy

The Sweet Spot 'Tween Apathy And Anxiety of Constantly

Increasing my Human Potentials to Enjoy The Same Ecstatic Flow...

Again, The Beauty is

It's Virtually

Free to

Do This; So,

Money Wise for my

Wife's Inheritance it only

Grows, it Only Grows Larger

For Her While i Dance And Sing
Freer in Total Autotelic Ecstatic
Flow, Real Heaven Within Now As
Assessed By Science True Now Too...

The Most Beautiful FRiEnDS in the
World Both 'Within' Online And On 'the
Outside' too,

Just Part

of the

Dance And Song Free As Well; Yes,

Naturally Coming With the Territory
of Dance And Song, Beyond All 'Cold
And Hot Rocks' In Space And on Earth too...

And Back to 'Local Politics' As Far As Justice
Goes At Least in Integrity of Keeping One's Word

Biden Did Deliver on 'That' Infrastructure Plan

And If He Delivers on 'That Other Thing', The

Build Back Better Act, At Least He Will Have A REAL JUST

LEGACY Greater Than A Failed Attempt to Overturn Democracy in True Dictator Style...

JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS i Noticed of 'This', While i Am Still Dancing Singing Free With Human Wings FOR REAL.

And Yes, Just Coincidentally And Incidentally, Florida is Shaped Like A Gun, And i've Been on A Rampage Dancing
Singing Spree

Free Ever

Since

2013,

Fully Loaded

in the Barrel

Still Shooting

Dance And

Song

Bullets

Publicly

From the

Tip of The Gun

of this State; Yep,

Among 'Florida Men' The Same...
