      That's why Sam mentioned he had ten days. Everyone knew there were ways to delay. The president was pushing the issue. He knew what way the winds were shifting, just as Leo did, but he didn't want to play games. He wanted to bring the issue to a head.

      The current US estate tax kicks in for inheritances valued at 13 million and above. The arguments for it are pretty obvious: revenue generation and wealth inequality reduction.

    Some fun facts for the lefties out there who think the "inheritance tax" is a good thing: It does NOT affect the super rich; their money is locked-up in assets and foundations that get them around it by and large. The people who ARE hit with this are small business owners and, especially, our dwindling population of independent farmers. Farms, on paper, are worth MASSIVE amounts of cash though in reality they operate on razor-thin margins. The real purpose of this tax is to seize their property so that companies like Monsanto can grab it up on pennies for the dollar.
    This is the issue with leftist thinking. It’s always a knee-jerk reaction that fails to bother looking at the underlying facts or take unintended (sometimes VERY intended) consequences into account and that’s why their polices invariably make the situations they are trying to fix worse.
    The simple fact is there are no solutions in life-only trade-offs. You need to know what you are actually getting and what you are actually giving up before you make decisions.

      Some fun facts for the right-wingers who think the inheritance tax is a bad thing: Democrats once tried to create a $1 million exception to it in order to pass an inheritance tax while not affecting "small business owners" who happen to be millionaires (i.e., not really small business owners). Republicans still vetoed it because it turns out rich people have a lot of money and they want to keep it in their wealthy families and refuse to do a day's work in their life. That's why their Presidential candidates are people who come from money, like the Bushes, Mitt Romney, and famous tax-cheat Donald Trump who used his wealth to commit felonies in the lead-up to the 2016 election.

      But that isn't really true, you are basing it on your interpretation of a fictional bill. The process of the transfer of ownership of property after death has a very specific procedure. At any point the fair value of the property be calculated to the heir.
