Reply #27: How is it counter to the entrepreneurial spirit? [View All]

OK, small businesses are exempt, so are small farms, in addition to the first FIVE million bucks being exempt as well. As far as I can tell, this plan's sole purpose is to minimize the rise of a permanent overclass, which already exists, by the way. You give Bill Gates as a, I think, poor example, to be honest, by the time his kids can get ANY of his inheretence, it probably will be much less than 5 million bucks for each of them. Bill Gates has stated that he wants to give away ALL his wealth before he dies, whether he suceeds or not isn't so much the question, but rather whether the money will remain in the control of his family, which may not be likely.

Problem is that people like Jobs, Gates, won't mention Trump, that's just an asshole, but those guys are ALL SMALL minorities, over 99% of the richest people in this country were BORN into it. There is nothing they DID to DESERVE that money in the first place, why have sympathy at all for them?

You mention that you have problems with taxpayers paying the pensions for the pilots at Delta Airlines, I assume you have the same problem with taxpayers paying Boeing's CEO salary?
