Megan Kelley and Rep. Weiner

Here is a terrific example of how Progressives/Leftists/Liberals/Democrats simply assume the false premise of the "death tax" debate. Even Megan Kelley allows Rep. Weiner to keep his assumption, thereby allowing him to even have the slightest hint of being right. The false premise is simly that when you die, your money is simply going back to its rightful owner, the Government.

Why does the government have the right to tax your estate after you die? Whatever happened to private property rights? Remember, the Leftist doesn't believe in private property rights. It's all theirs to begin with.

But let's go ahead and grant the false premise in Weiner's argument that the inheritance is unearned income for those who inherit money. Megan made the solid point that the estate is being taxed prior to anyone inheriting the money. In other words, a person is taxed upon their death, plain and simple.

To use an illustration might be of service. Let's say I am worth $100,000 when I die. I happen to leave behind 10 heirs, who each earn $15,000 per year from their normal jobs. Do you really believe Rep. Weiner would tax them each on their income taxes at the $25,000 rate after receiving the $10,000 I left each of them? Hell no. The death tax could be at 50% no matter what prior to anyone else receiving money. For some reason, Weiner believes unearned income belongs to the government. Why? Remember, we are the property of the state. The Almighty State is God.

Therefore, this is not viewed as unearned income to my heirs and Rep. Weiner knows it (making him a liar). It is going after and seizing private property, which is a clear and outright violation of the U.S. Constitution (as if Liberals care about that silly document anyway). This is something government officials do to empower themselves. It is not about revenue. It is about power over your life and property.
