minus-square frog 🐸 ( @frog@beehaw.org ) linkfedilinkEnglish66•1 year ago ‘Is money a birthright now?’ If it’s not, then logically a 100% inheritance tax must be imposed. After all, nobody is entitled to money just for being born, right?

minus-square Kache ( @Kache@lemm.ee ) linkfedilink13•edit-21 year agoIn the long run, nearly the same effect as 100% inheritance tax anyways. The government won’t know the cash has been removed from the economy, but it’ll have been removed all the same.
