The Cost Of Death

If you ever wanted the simplest way to explain the depths of government corruption to someone, all you who need to do is look at inheritance tax, or like they call it on the street, death tax. The most basic explanation is as follows, it is the tax you pay the government after you die, on everything that you accumulated or built up over the course your life. Wait, sorry let me rephrase that, the government robs you of half of all the things you have when you die. It's basically robbing the dead, much like the way grave robbers use to dig up the dead then take everything from jewelry to pulling out gold teeth.

The fundamental issue I have with death tax, and any anyone who even attempts to apply the least amount of critical thought, will as well. Everything that you have earned over the years has already been taxed. The cleaver little argument they make here is, that it's actually a tax on the person receiving said inheritance. It's a very sly play on words when you consider the previous statement, the government is therefore double taxing you. Why should the government have anything to do with what I leave to the people I love when I die. If you look at where it started in 1894, called the Succession Duty Act, the tax percentage was 1%. The greed of government is ever more noticeable the further along we go. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.


"Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it." - Ronald Reagan

What really grinds my gears is when these leftist hollywood celebrities get on there soap boxes and tell the world how to think. They actually went as far as saying that cutting of taxes for the middle class and rich would be robbing the poor. Now you have to be a special kind of absolute brain dead stupid for it to make sense to you, the poor or anyone for that mater, do not have any right to the tax money of anyone. Let me tell you a little story to put explain it if you still don't understand.

There is an apple farmer who has a farm with lots of apple trees, then every so often this gang of thieves comes along and steals some of his apples. To stay in power this gang of thieves goes some good, by giving a small amount of the stolen apples to a children's orphanage. So the farmer decides to implement some ways to stop the thieves from stealing as many apples as they usually do. The children start getting less apples from the thieves, and the thieves start loosing the power they value. The thieves then blame the farmers for not letting them steal as much as they use to. The people who weren't the brightest of folks, believed the lies of the thieves, that the farmers hate the poor children.

This is the lie you are being fed by the governments, wake up.

"Hillary Clinton would raise taxes on so-called rich people, corporations, capital gains, financial transactions, and inheritance. Has there ever been an example where America has taxed its way into prosperity? Never. Trump has an economic-recovery-and-prosperity plan. Clinton has an austerity-recession plan." - Lawrence Kudlow

Here in Belgium, inheritance taxes are a bitch. When it is direct family it is still somewhat reasonable, but when it is indirect and let's not talk about a friend leaving you his property or something it can go up to insane numbers (talking 40%and up).

A lot of people decline indirect family heritances because it would cause them a possible bankrupty, so the inheritance goes to the government.

That is just insane, and very sad.

My exact thought

Love this post mate! The apple farmer analogy is perfect :) Keen to see more of this.

Well put, all of it. I am convinced and will not be swayed, that taxes are simply 100% theft, and this is especially atrocious in my eyes. If only everyone could band together and put an end to the corruption..
