@e_considine@cafreiman I'm assuming you don't understand step up basis. It costs the IRS double what they get in inheritance tax. And those who save are massively richer than those who pay inheritance tax.
@e_considine@cafreiman Ok, so I can give a kidney to my kid and I think I should be able to give them my money too. The issue is step up basis. Getting rid of that solves a lot of problems. Let the eventual seller of the asset pay cap gains, whoever it is.
@SarcasticCupcak@asymmetricinfo@senator_tim Right. But to the original comment, this is better corroborated (not well corroborated) than the BK situation. Platner admits they dated. So its he said she said. CBF can't prove she ever met BK. You can reject both. Its more telling if you believe Platner and not Kavanuagh.
@johnarnold@johnarnold have you seen the tax changes that Australia is attempting to enact right now? Getting rid of things like negative gearing of assets + raising cap gains. Is this similar to what you'd want the US to consider?
@TedLasso31442@cafreiman I think what's changed mostly is back then she was an activist and now she's a candidate. Its not unreasonable to question how she'll govern and if these opinions affect the policies she'll advocate for once in office.
@TedLasso31442@cafreiman I mean, she's said a lot of things as recently as under 5 years ago that, if she no longer thinks them anymore, she probably should explain her change of heart, right? Or she should defend these ideas if she still believes them.
