View submission: On Rights of Inheritance - why high inheritance taxes are justified

View parent comment

I'm not sure why a fair rate of Inheritance Taxes (10 to 20% or so) on estates over $5 million is an unfair or terrible injustice.

Because the person who earned that wealth *already* paid income taxes on it, typically at a higher rate than “10 or 20%” or so. The money has already been taxed.

The money used to pay property taxes or sales taxes (or any other taxes) wasn't already taxed?
