In 2024 there were a lot of Trump flags in my area. In 2026 there are 2, one is hanging from an overgrown bush outside of an old mobile home that has no less than 3 cars that haven't moved in many years, the other is in an open field next to a storage unit facility that looks like it's been abandoned.

I have to say that in both cases it's a perfect example of what's left of the Trumpers delusional support of something that they can not begin to comprehend and that they will never know just how far they really are from the truth. They don't understand that just because he speaks the same hateful words doesn't mean that they are a part of his world.

Let's talk about death taxes in America. You will hear the line about paying taxes when you're alive and then paying taxes when you die. I checked this out a few years ago, so this information is out of date, but that means the exemptions have only gone higher.

While you're alive, you could gift about $10k to each child per year, from each parent. This meant if you had 3 kids, you could do a tax free wealth transfer of $60k per year. When you died, you could give each child $10 million, again per parent. This means the absolute minimum wealth required to pay an estate tax on was $10 million, providing the wealth was held by only one person and they only had one child. If the scenario above was used, with 2 parents owning the wealth jointly and having 3 children, you could transfer $60 million, plus another $600k if you had started working on your estate planning 10 years before you died. And even then, you were only paying taxes on the portion above the tax-free amounts listed above. All of this doesn't even require any trusts or other tax haven't shenanigans.

tl;dr Pretty much anyone who is paying estate taxes can afford to.

I make more than double that and spend tons of time online: Tax these rich assholes their due so they're paying their fair share like the rest of us.

I see people disagreeing that communism is the answer. Or asking specifics about what they want to tax.
