Inheritance, Taxes etc

This might be my first political post here but when I read things like this it angers up the blood. First off, the article doesn't accept the fact that the system, even as it existed 25 years ago, allowed for an American Aristocracy. I won't ask you (or the author) to accept the fact that all property is theft. That gets into all sorts of metaphysical ideas about objects, land ownership and stuff that would take the rest of my day writing about. What I will ask of you is to accept that people should rise and fall on their own merits, that the only thing people are entitled to is an equality of opportunity and that as soon as we have  inheritance of any type that equality is lost. What I would do:

1. No one can inherit more then 100K in cash and property in their lifetime. (inflation adjustable) The rest returns to the state. Including business which will be sold at auction, again, money going to taxes
2. No Physical Land can be inherited, EVER. You may lease land but never own it
3. This law is retroactive so all estates, trust funds etc will be immediately confiscated.

Think about this--- People have unfair advantages as it is based on who their parents or grandparents are/were. Why should we give them the added benefit of money? Why should they deserve that? Make or break on who you are not on who you come from.

Seventh Trip, or Netzach (the SNAFU Principle)


"The most thoroughly and relentlessly Damned, banned, excluded, condemned, forbidden, ostracized, ignore, suppressed, repressed, robbed, brutalized and defamed of all Damned Things is the individual human being. The social engineers, statistician, psychologist, sociologists, market researchers, landlords, bureaucrats, captains of industry, bankers, governors, commissars, kings and presidents are perpetually forcing this Damned Thing into carefully prepared blueprints and perpetually irritated that the Damned Thing will not fit into the slot assigned it. The theologians call it a sinner and try to reform it. The governor calls it a criminal and tries to punish it. the psychologist calls it a neurotic and tries to cure it. Still, the Damned Thing will not fit into their slots." ---Hagbard Celine
