50% of your income, 50% of your capital gains, 50% of the estate you pass on. Perpetual servitude.

50% of the estate you pass on

This pisses me off so much. No one in my family even has money to pass on anyway, but why the hell would anyone bother?

This is why the billionaires club sink their billions into "foundations" that their children control and give their friend's children high paying meaningless jobs. Spreading the wealth between the families to avoid the estate tax that only exists to prevent any new families from rising to power anywhere in the world.

Fuck them.

Fuck them hard. Before you die sell everything and put it into gold and move it to a Swiss bank. Fuck them.

It's not so easy to tax dodge if you aren't connected to one of the ruling families.
