You make no sense at all. you ASSUME that they would put their money (note, it is already their money, it is NOT governments) to do as you say.Where is the handout? It is already their money...The party of the rich, for the rich, by the rich. Once again, the wolves shear the sheep while the sheep cheer them on.
Republicans Push 269 Billion Handout For Millionaire Heirs And Heiresses
excerpt:
WASHINGTON -- House Republicans this week will vote to hand the heirs and heiresses of America's largest fortunes a $269 billion tax break by repealing the federal inheritance tax.
The legislation would shield the very richest families from taxes on the fortunes they inherit. After years of GOP attacks on the inheritance tax, also known as the estate tax, only a few thousand of the wealthiest families are subjected to it -- 4,700 total in 2013, according to the Joint Committee on Taxation. Only individual fortunes worth over $5.43 million can be taxed under current law, an amount that doubles to $10.86 million for wealthy couples. The Republican proposal would eliminate all of these estates -- which are over 15,700 percent richer than the median American household -- from taxation.
The "Handout" comes later, when the children use the largess to 'donate' to those who write laws, which aid the the very wealthy to secure for them more and more wealth - see the Brother's Koch for an example. And if you're of the mind to, see in your minds eye the dystopian future if the Republicans get their way; how will our nation look when all of the wealth is hidden behind gated enclaves, and the hoi polloi live from hand to mouth?
How long will it take, before what the power elite fear the most, rises up? Anyone with a fundamental knowledge of history should understand how the current iteration of the far right today can and will lead to violence unless they wake up.
See, for example the list of popular revolts over the millenniums:
List of revolutions and rebellions - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
The First, the Set rebellion of 2740 BC; the most recent, 2014–15 Yemeni coup.
In between, thousands of events - some great, some small but all violent.
Yet you have no problem in taking money from people and putting it to use for what you want. Its only those who inherit that are not permitted to proctect their own interests?
Oh, and that is STILL NOT a handout.
Do you know how many families will benefit from this repeal?
Do you now if anyone of these families
- own a family farm
- create jobs
- have foreign accounts and money hidden
- engaged in illegal activities
- earned great wealth exploiting their workers
- donated to the Republican Party to put forth this bill
- actually earned great wealth
- and inherited great wealth
