yeah, what is the fucking point of having life insurance because of the death tax?

I think they need to abolish the death tax AND the inheritance tax.

I don't think life insurance is taxed by the death tax because it is paid out directly to your beneficiaries.

Right now, the way death tax works is that anything over $1 million is taxed at 55%. However, the caveat is this: If you have $5 million dollars and give it all to one person upon death, you will pay (5,000,000 - 1,000,000) *.55 in taxes which equals $2,200,000. However, if you leave 5 different people $1 million each, you will pay $0 dollars in death tax. This is good because it keeps the money divided amongst many people. This is the only known way to prevent economic snowballing where over time, 1% of the families in the country control 95 to 99% of that country's wealth.

I fully support a Death tax and I would even support raising it to 75 to even 100%. Here's a concept for the few in this country born with a silver spoon: WORK FOR YOUR MONEY FOR ONCE. Being born into a wealthy family already gives you the best education and most opportunity. The country cannot afford for it's elite to just squander their usefulness to society. And if they choose to do so, they do not deserve to keep their wealth.
