      You counted your house, your retirement accounts, other funds (current accounts for cash), your cars, personal property, other investments. All that is "wealth".

      0.03 * 750k = $22.5k plus your $6k ... $28.5k you'd owe. No further comment on your math. ;-)

      Me, the $22.5, plus $60k on the next 1M (for $82.5k), and then 9% on wherever the final lands above $2M (if it does). Like I said, I've popped three-quarters of my gross annual income before the final number.

        Yes. $1.1M. We're only a poor public official and bloodsucking contractor.

            Correct. The idea is to drive everybody slowly into that $2M - $5M sweet spot. That's what you get as wealth. It's pretty sweet. Most of America has ZERO wealth.

            Once you retire your wealth tax will be greater than your income if you are "comfortable." That's the whole idea-- stop hoarding wealth and distribute it to people who are suffering. End the philosophy that the morbidly obese guy is a hero. He's at best a pathetic, unhealthy freak.

            If nobody was in need you might argue "I can get as fat as I want." But as long as people are suffering from the lack of necessities, no. Obesity is no longer something a good society will tolerate.

            You have a right to be healthy, not to stuff your face as others starve.

              Add up the "wealth" I have under your definition (house book value, 401k current book value, other cash accounts, personal property, cars, yadda-yadda) and I'm in your $2M bracket.

              At 6% my tax would be roughly my present gross annual salary.

              Edit: No, wait, at over $2M "wealth" I'm in the 9% bracket. I'd be well, well over my gross annual salary. Or did you mean 3% on the $750k (from 250k to 1M), and then 6% on the 1M from 1-2M, and then 9% on the 1M from 2-3M, etc, a graduated approach? Even then, we're over 75% of my present gross annual salary.


              You may 'rectally insert' your plan.
              You do not understand tax brackets. Read up and come back. The first 60-75 grand would be free.

                    except it hasn't been earned and taxed by the person inheriting. It was earned by the dead person and taxed when he or she earned it.

                    This is no different than giving someone a dollar for services rendered. In this case, the dollar is the estate and the services rendered are being an heir.

                    So, no. There is no claim to that money by anyone other than the individual who earned it or their joint filer.

                        Yeah, that's fine. It still ****es me off that we even need to argue about people with 50 million or more are getting taxed too much. It's ****ing insane and stupid.

                          I agree. Above $50M, take it all.

                            Guess her offspring won't have to worry about it then.

                            At aty rate, she was taxed on that income when she earned it. Inheritance taxes tax it when her offspring "earn"(inherit) it.

                              A tenth of that number, so I'm not on the beach quite yet.

                              So tax my mother's already taxed money. <-- The double taxation on the same earned dollar aspect bothers me. Inherit isn't earn. What was she supposed to do with it? She had it for her expenses to end of life. She took care of herself, fiscally, to the end. (I ran it for her when she went to memory care.) She planned too well and had too much I guess in some's eyes. She didn't even need her SoSec to cover expenses. It would've been better if she was indigent?

                              You can claim you're taxing me (inheritor) but I'll say you're effectively taxing her for dying with money, punish her for planning for old age too well.

                              So, again, what was she supposed to do with it, because I've never seen a U-Haul trailer behind a hearse.

                              Cap gains? That's new income; tax it.

                              Interest and dividend income? Same; tax it.
