    GOP estate tax repeal

    You lose two choices when you die: you can't buy the car and you can't save/invest the money. That's because you are dead. I understand your argument. Conservatives spout "Double taxation" as the reason against an estate tax. It's not a good reason by itself. The reality is that you don't want...

    Why should I focus on the grantor not the grantee? Fair point about a child's college education. Does that fall under a gift giving? It specifically might not because education has very unique rules. But if you bought your child a house, that certainly would. There should be limits that allow...

    GOP estate tax repeal

    Here is a concept for you to understand - as clearly you do not: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/double_taxation.asp Your analogy made no sense. Either you knew there was a second fee or you didn’t. If not, that’s your fault. If you did, you should plan accordingly. Or if the second fee...

    GOP estate tax repeal

    The son gets a market wage for his contributions just like any other employee would. There are actually rules about paying above market wages to family members to circumvent gift tax laws.

    Cold Cars

    In my model S, in the winter, I will lose 4-6percent charge overnight. In summer I lose nothing. Also, in the winter I will use about 450 kilowatts per mile. In the summer I will use about 300 kilowatts per mile. That could be because of the heater but that seems like a lot. I never measured...

    GOP estate tax repeal

    Your example isn’t the apt as you know tax law ahead at the time of the purchased ticket. And to the extent that you don’t know tax law 40 years from now, when you will likely die, that exists with everything in life. The government says if you give your wages to your kids, you pay a tax.

    GOP estate tax repeal

    How am I telling you what you should have? Are you reducing this to an "all taxiation is theft" argument? I don't understand how the concept of double taxiation is an argument for lower taxes. What makes double taxiation worse than higher tax rates in general? Are you in favor of higher income...

    GOP estate tax repeal

    No one is saying what you can and can't do with your money in this regard. You have several choices with your earned income. You can buy guns (and pay sales tax), you can give it to your kids (and pay inheritance taxes after a certain amount), you can give it to charity and pay no taxes. Or you...

    Or: You work and pay income taxes and take your money and give it to a store for a product or to you give it to your kids so they can be unproductive derelicts. What’s the difference? You might be against double taxiation because you want lower taxes but double taxiation isn’t inherently wrong.

    GOP estate tax repeal

    Why is double taxiation wrong? You get taxed on your income and then pay sales tax on purchases you make. There are two transactions. Not dissimilar to inheritances.
