No. It could be summed up as “I got mine through hard work, fuck you for trying to take mine by force, go work hard and get yours, and once you do I won’t take it by force.”

Yes, as we all know, governments can never do anything correctly.

So you’d support a 100% inheritance tax. Good to know.

I didn’t say “I got mine through MY hard work” (although in my personal case that is true).

If i leave my kids anything (the plan is to spend it all then die), then they would have “gotten theirs” through MY hard work, which is within the statement I said above. So I still haven’t implicitly supported a 100 percent estate tax.

I plan on getting mine through your hard work as well.
