While it seems like a good idea to not only flow money back into the economy but also lessen the aristocratic class... which is a very good thing, as nobody likes a trust fund baby -- it has a nasty side effect that I can't overcome.

That the government will have incentives to kill off people or let them die, basically putting a timer on peoples' lives and not promoting biomedical advancements for longevity (which is the next step in biomedicine) because the government will have an economic motivator for rich people dying. No more Medicare past 75 if you own more than $Xmillion in assets.

Good, bad, or mixed ideas?

Bad. You've likely already been taxed on money you are saving for your kids. Why the double dip by the fed?

That "saving for your kids" part is my problem. Nobody likes stuck up, arrogant adults who were gifted everything and never had to lift a finger and think they're better than everyone else. Everyone hates old rich, except gold diggers.

Every dollar is taxed a shitload of times. Any time an store owner makes a sale, he pays tax on that money earned. The person who gave the money paid taxes when he earned that same money, etc etc. The notion that "we must always avoid double taxation" doesn't really hold up. Not to mention the sales tax in the middle.

On the other hand, it could be argued that hoarding money for long periods of time stalls the economy and the taxation is paying your dues for doing so.

The less incentive there is to try and pass something on, the less incentive there is to build a business. After 50 most successful business owners are really well enough off that any expansion is for the next generation. Blur the lines between a financial success and a failure after retirementenough and it would likely stifle entrepreneurs

the estate tax touches only very tiny percentage of Americans, and most of them are wealthy enough, if not smart enough, to minimize/avoid/evade estate taxes.

estate tax is a total NON problem for America. And the supposedly adored Founding Fathers were against primogeniture.

At the same time, I would argue that the exclusion is isn't high enough. Not allowing the very rich to just hand over their wealth without any taxes is something I can agree with but we shouldn't prevent not wealthy people from passing on family farms, ranches, small businesses.

If you owned a ranch that generates a net income of $200K/yr and the land purchased by your distant relatives is now valued at 10 million because of development around that property then you have to come up with 2 million in order to keep it in the family. That could be enough to lose the family ranch.

200k annually easily exceeds the average American. A household earning 200k per year is in the top 3-4%

Inherently, I think it's wrong. If someone chooses to save their money for their kids, then that should be their right. And giving that money to the government doesn't insure that anything productive gets done with it anyway.

That being said, the threshold is so high that it's not going to put anyone's heirs (most anyway) at a significant disadvantage. Not to mention that plenty of the wealthy have been able to take advantage of tax benefits that most cannot.

That's not a loophole. Read the fine print. That's exactly what my last post said. You only pay the taxes on the excess amount. If you have a 5.5 mil exemption on a 6 mil property, you're only paying tax on 0.5 mil. It's basic math. So a family with a 12 million dollar ranch is really going to pay tax on about 1 mil (assuming husband and wife each put half the ranch in individual trusts, each with their own 5.5 exemption)

https://www.cbpp.org/research/federal-tax/ten-facts-you-should-know-about-the-federal-estate-tax

As well as...


Over the years, a number of targeted provisions have been enacted to reduce the burden of the estate tax on farms and small business owners. These include a special provision that allows farm real estate to be valued at farm-use value rather than at its fair-market value, and an installment payment provision. A provision aimed at encouraging farmers and other landowners to donate an easement or other restriction on development has also provided additional estate tax savings. Together, these provisions have reduced the potential impact of estate taxes on the transfer of a farm or other small business to the next generation.

lol now your trying to argue still.

I said I would support a higher exemption to avoid people losing family owned farms/ranches businesses to estate taxes. Apparently there no need to raise the exemption because there are already plenty of programs/provisions to prevent that from happening.

That was the original point before you started getting all triggered by dollar amounts and started in with the "rich" "lottery winners" "you're out of touch with the workin man". Btw, that's was a good one coming from the guy who complains he can hear his dad listening to Fox news through the wall of his room.

:lol Apparently we disagree as to what qualifies as wealthy. I was willing to look at percentiles. You never really gave your idea of what middle class or wealthy means. I'm willing to say people that own an 11+ million dollar property are wealthy. You've refused to draw a line and just call me triggered instead of doing so. It's just prick waiving from you. Oh, you think millionaires are wealthy? That's adorable!

And yeah, I lived with my folks until I took the bar exam this past July. I don't know why you'd throw that out as something I should have been ashamed of.

You're still missing the original point (not losing family owned...) which was never about dollar amounts. You and Chump went off on that topic just because of my example pulled out of thin air.

I don't think you should be ashamed of it. I would have done that too if I had been that privileged but I had to get a job and pay rent after high school. That's probably the reason I'm not as in touch with the average man as you are.

Not sure where your getting the prick waving thing from, nowhere did I mention my personal financial situation. Now that your going to work as a lawyer I'll go ahead and make the prediction that someday you're going to think "damn a million dollars isn't as much as I thought it was"... well unless your an unsuccessful lawyer, then you'll still be all "man if I had a million dollars...".

For shits and giggles.

$10 m in farmland
2000 acres x $5000
half corn and soybeans
Combine and headers alone will run almost 3/4 of a million right there.

Your looking at $2-3 million in machinery
Need some bins and sheds, another half a million to a million.

I pay sales tax on all that machinery. Health insurance another $20g.

You don't have much margin of error on a large decision. The engine alone on a combine or tractor will run north of $60k.

Lets say you have to come up with $4m just to enter the game, assuming inheriting $10 m in land. What's your motivation to build an operation? Inflation alone will push you out into major tax area when your ready to retire. That $200k net? Your not continuing to farm/ranch without a lot of extra capitol. Even if you were, you need to expand at least 5% every year to remain competitive.

Any estate lawyer with some semblance of intelligence would be able to shield this scenario from the estate tax completely.

Good for you, I didn't know that. Anyways it's not dick waving to think your not all that in tune with what constitutes a lot of money when you think with a $200K salary just go get a $2million loan to pay the estate tax. You can go do the math on how that works out if you want. $200k isn't as much as you seem to think it is.

Lots of money is being spent on estate lawyers in agriculture. I'm not old enough to be agressive in my situation yet but you're telling me that if I have one child i could pass a what, $25M operation without paying a cent in estate tax?

Hopefully you can get the federal government to pay you to not grow or raise anything.

Federal govt is grain farmers number one competitor. I lost 10% of my acres to them in the last two years. Taxpayers pay 150% of top rental rates so hunters can shoot birds on it.

You should be planting black oil sunflowers too. Costs about $100 an acre start to finish deductible. Cash business, $150 a day per head. Sammy was hunting about 6000 a year before he sold out to mccombs/Pachanga.

Bad. You've likely already been taxed on money you are saving for your kids. Why the double dip by the fed?

Why let spoiled rich kids with a sense of entitlement, whose parents were horrible tax planners have more money?

You do know there is a floor that eliminates the taxes for the vast majority of people, right?

colored men marry fat white women, but generally white women get fat after they're 17.

colored women will squeeze out 3 bastards by 17, but don't get fat... most of the time. And don't get married to any three of those baby daddies.

chinese don't have more than 1-2 kids, typically in their 30s, unless they own a dry cleaners or restaurant for they need to staff.

So no, only Mexicans is a fair assessment in this case.
