So if an employer chooses to adopt his employees, they shouldn't pay any taxes?...then that would, according to your requirements, satisfy the title being in the father's name. Since Donald didn't pay for it, it can't be Donald's. He would have to pay for it first.
Not if it was given to him as a gift. His father (as owner of said property) is passing such title to his son and that's between father and son--not father and government.
Besides, where did his father get it? Did he pay for it? Did he get it legally?
And even if he did, what are you saying, that any money on which someone paid tax shouldn't ever be taxable again?
Not between family--no.
No because you are earning money working for your employer. My employers son works with us and yes, he gets taxed because he is getting paid to do a job--also known as income.
The way you're talking, a groom should be taxed on the wedding ring he gives his bride. You love the idea of Big Brother watching over our every move between family members so they can intrude and get theirs too!
Most parents work hard so that they can pass the rewards of their labor to their children. The reason we have it so good today is because every generation before us wanted to give the next generation a better life than they had. Today, it's wise for parents to start a college fund for their children before they even talk. But of course leaving this country in the hands of people like you, government would take their share of that money so their education would be limited.
