Please. I'm a Liberal and a Libertarian. I am NOT a Democrat.

There are assumptions in your comment that are of a highly political nature not worthy of a response beyond this one.
They would be "assumptions" if I weren't familiar with your opinions about the Federal Reserve and all of its actions going back to 2008. As Tsing Tao and others have mentioned, your position is always in full support of their actions.
I'm not arguing that your opinion is out of the ordinary for boomers or those a few years older. After all, we've had a solid twenty plus years of unabashed "inflate at all costs" monetary decisions. After awhile, it becomes a way of life to always be able to offload assets at a better price, no matter how bad the timing might have been.
But it's abundantly clear that it is a short sighted response and one that dumps all of the fallout onto future generations who have no shot at acquiring assets at typical cycle lows (that used to be a part of the "ebb and flow").
You seem to have this chip on your shoulder that interprets everything everyone says here - no matter in what way - as a war on drugs and alcohol. We get it. You're an alcoholic with a drug habit (I didn't use the word "problem" because I could give a shit what you do with your life).
I said spending goes back into the economy once a dollar is earned (and taxed). I said nothing about what qualifies as spending. Why don't you do another shot, drop some acid and shut the fuck up?
ha ha, when was the last time you ever voted for a republican? They call themselves "Independent" and even register that way, but they never vote for a republican unless it is the sheriff or a judge who is a friend. You are what you vote for. That's why I laugh when I speak my ideas and shallow minded posters attack me and claim I am not a true libertarian. Well, I vote a straight libertarian ticket so that makes me the only really true Libertarian. If you want to know what a libertarian thinks, just ask me. I am the only one who doesn't chicken out at the last minute and vote republican because I think it is the lesser of two evils. And you could do the same if you would just vote your conscience instead of voting for your dying party.
Or you could just do away with the inheritance tax and it'd save a lot of administration over the asinine solution you presented above.
You are not a Libertarian. We've gone through this before, with your support of the bailouts, desire for big government, etc.
those dollars re enter the "economy" (whatever that is) as soon as they are taxed. It's not like the government collects them and burns them in a big IRS bonfire Pep Rally.
The taxed portion does. The income net of taxation is saved. When (or if) it is spent, then it re-enters the economy.
Dollars inherited have been saved. You could argue they drove fractional reserve lending, and therefore the creation of money, but those dollars themselves have not re-entered the economy.
oh man, you are preaching to the choir. What do you think I have been bitching about? Not a dollar can change hands without the govenment taking a cut, just like a mafioso wise guy. It all goes back into the economy. That is not the problem. The problem is I am working hard to be productive, and I have to pay for the government and all their thugs who are nothing more than social parasites.
