I'm not talking about you personally, I'm talking about the general idea of taxing inheritances.
If you don't tax it, we'll all end up working for jeff besos grand son, for peanuts and no house.
Also, if you get a bunch of grands, I can live with that, you got lucky, good for you. But millions? Not so much IMO.
Jealousy is a sin. Y'all just mad people busted their asses off to improve their lives and the lives of their children while you're sitting here whining to your cats about how it's unfair you don't get a share of the pie.
So is Greed, which is the only accurate term for multi-millionaires. Though if those multi-millions come from one(1) house, that's a different thing. Housing market is snafu.
It isn't really jealousy, or envious, to be more precise, to demand the rich have a higher tax burden than the working people. Everyone should be contributing their fair share of taxes, and that share gets bigger the more you get/have, as you wouldn't even notice it being gone (unless you were a hording dragon, obsessed with every small piece)
You talk about greedy people, and yet here you are demanding a slice of other people's pies because you never have enough you greedy little goblin.
