Thank you Linda Sanchez for proving yet again the idiocy of extremists.
Well, gee, let's think about that. Maybe because the inheritance money already belongs to the family in the first place? Just a thought. Not to mention that such a policy would be a huge infringement on property rights *and* personal liberty all at once, but extreme leftists don't care about those sacred American ideals.
Democratic Rep. Linda Sanchez offered a baffling defense of the death tax Wednesday during a hearing examining the sometimes unbearable burden it places on family farms and businesses.
People receiving food stamps have to pass drug tests or meet work requirements to receive taxpayer dollars, Sanchez reasoned, so it’s only fair that those “lucky” enough to inherit wealth should have to do something to earn it or, in this case, pay a tax.
“What work requirements are there to inherit up to $10 million tax free?” she asked a witness, rhetorically.
“Why is that [a single mother] should be drug tested, which is an unrelated requirement to receive food assistance, to make sure that her family has enough to eat,” she asked. “And people who are lucky enough to inherit millions of dollars are literally required to do nothing to get the federal tax benefit with their inheritance?”
