god damn there are some stupid people on this forum. 1000s of eye witness victim accounts all from different parts of the continent and zero possibility to create a coordinated giant hoax between these people and still people dont believe. plenty of nazis have admitted to them as well.

And trump is besties with Epstein as well. Why just focus On Clinton who is currently not the US president.

It's about the feeling is it? How about the vibe? plenty of people thought African slavery was what people wanted in the past? Discrimination against females was was what people wanted to, as with discrimination against homosexuals etc. Yep this is what your argument has been reduced to. You...

Yep. But you can get messages about real life from works of fiction. Although I agree they are hardly scientific proof.

Yes I get this point. My point is a family should not organise itself this way except during the stages of child rearing. During child rearing stages of life a family does need to organise the way you say it does as children do need to be cared for by a spouse during early childhood...

Your argument is that it's always been this way so it shouldn't be changed. You can dress it up as much as you want but that is what it comes down to. If you have some other point you aren't making it very well.

The writers were pointing out the horrors of Stalinism but revealing the problem with socialism. For socialist systems to survive a Stalin figure has to come to power to enforce the system with a fist, otherwise it falls a part. This nearly happened half way through Animal farm, but then the...

Yep we are going in circles now. Already answered this. You do realise your argument can be used to continually justify heredity leadership right? As well as heredity controlled businesses.

I don't want to get into an argument about socialism but I think you've missed the message of those books. They point out why socialism doesn't work, not simply provide an example of a world in which they don't work. Those books didn't point out the number one reason why socialism won't work...

You are trying to make this topic about something it is not. This isn't about whether stay at home family members are paid adequately. This is about inheritance taxes versus other forms of taxes/subsidies including potentially family welfare subsidies. The introduction of an inheritance tax...

I do have a family. Haven't mentioned it because the strength of an argument has nothing to do with the background or the experiences of the person saying it. Do you ever read the thread that you apparently posted that is stuck at the top of this board on what makes reasonable argument? How...

Yep. Wealth is not created by family members. It is created by individuals. However, If breadwinners die while they are still young and have dependents (dependents includes children under 18, disabled adult children and wives that have to stay off work to look after children) then there is...

Are you able to respond to statements you don't like rationally??? There are people who create wealth through work and those who benefit from other peoples work. People who benefit from others work include those who receive welfare recipients and people who earn inheritance. Please tell me how...

How did you possibly come to the conclusion from what I wrote that I want "other families money"??? This isn't about increasing wealth distribution. It is about reducing it. Your family will have more money to enjoy with you as you will have lower income taxes to compensate for the fact that...

You do realise that socialism and inheritance are very similar. They both involve taking wealth away from the creators of goods and giving it to others. They both reduce the incentive to work and create.

Sigh. Buries head in hands. Your kids did not earn your money, you did. There is no double taxation as your kids have not yet paid a dime in tax. The ridiculous taxes you paid on your earnings would be lowered to compensate for the tax on inheirtance. You are right, my parents aren't loaded...

At the expense of other workers in society who lose as a result of the unemployment unions create. Please don't make the same mistakes as those from the right and assume the left is completely innocent. There is blame on both sides.

You could very easy argue that today's government is fascism in all but name given there are only two choices and the system is set up to prevent any alternatives from rising to power.

Lol. This coming from you. Aren't you the ultimate crusader for democracy as an end for itself?

If you were economic literate you would advocate inheritance taxes over income taxes. Inheritance taxes don't influence a persons decision to work and contribute to society like other taxes do.

Yes I agree this where the practicality of the issue lies if an inheritance tax was ever introduced.

Um no your not.

But if your granddaddy built a business empire than surely this means that you deserve every cent of the 200 million dollars he gave you in inheritance? Doesn't it? The young twenty year old trying to build a new business today from nothing but all his own effort should be taxed to core however.

1) Your rulers are direct descendants of God. Enabled the continuation of monarchies for a thousand years. Thankfully this piece of propaganda is now well and truly in the dustbin. 2) Religion - Kept the masses at bay for centuries. Stealing is wrong not just because the rulers don't like it but...
