America is an exception to the rule of tyranny. The world over, the person serves the Government. Our Founding Fathers wanted our Government to serve the people. It is not doing that because the politicians have blurred and usurped the Constitutional Spheres so we are toast, unless we wake up and fix it back to comply with Article One Section 7. Washington Warned Us.!!!!!

Montana, the Treasure State, has enough geo thermal energy to last till we can draw from the Earth's Core. That lose would cost us our future. Montana is worth more than the National Debt.

After reviewing the list of things I have done for her over the last week or two,
she gave me a pass on Feb 14 gift. Got her one anyway.

From the Davos article: Oxfam warned that the growing gap between rich and poor was undermining the fight against poverty, damaging economies and fuelling public anger.

It also urged countries to slap more taxes on the wealthy

The poverty of the Middle Ages was caused by Kings saving their money. When the Nations wealth is locked up in a store room then the people starve. Look at the World. If rot and fire did not happen, then we would be up to our eye balls in old dead plants. We grow from the corpses of our predecessors. If is called, by economists Creative Destruction

I agree with everything you said, except concentration of wealth. The breakup of Standard Oil was beneficial, same with Ma Bell, and this Davos article indicates that more of that is coming. My suggestion is designed to avoid this emergency in the future.

Tyranny, The Founding Fathers, who were pretty focused on understanding its nature, defined a tyrant as an autocrat who can set the agenda and then implement it. Today we have a problem with concentration of wealth into fewer and fewer hands. My proposal is that it should be dispersed. My objective is to maintain the middle class. If the chasm between the rich and the population grows to large then the hegemon of wealth plows its way through the world. The democrats do a lot of yelling about this victimization. a better, more durable model is diversification. In stead of one huge vehicle, a diversity of small but competent vehicles will insure that some will survive. It is why there are multiple individuals in the human race.

I oppose concentration. you take care of you own first then some promising friends.

I agree totally. You direct it. You assign all of it.

Okay, the model is the first born of the King inherits everything. It is never broken up, no one else ever uses those assets. That hording gave us the Dark Ages.
Every one is born equal, and has the same opportunity to rise as far as his abilities will allow. The child of a wealthy parent will receive lots of valuable gifts such as private school and tutoring, introductions to people and situations, and you will probably clue him in on your best advise. That is wealth that you will not give to anyone else. So after giving him all the abilities you can, when you throw some money in on it he should be fine. Additionally until then you will be gifting him with assets that can be made into rental properties or businesses, if you are as perceptive as I believe you are. By the way, that is White Privilege.
What I am proposing is an inheritance of ten times the annual average wage, which is $30,000 times 10 = $300,000 per event. Everyone is supposed to have two parents and four grand parents, also a dozen cousins, seven or eight uncles. In a crowded field like that a kid could end up with a lot of money but most of them are flat broke so will not have assets enough to even give each of their own kids the full maximum, but the folks that do can cover for the others. It is a family thing. I am sorry you are an exception to a lot of that, but I'll bet that if you gave your kid $20,000, he would be a millionaire by the end of the decade.

I agree!!!! There should be no progressively heavier taxes, or death tax. Your money should go to those you want to get it. I propose smaller bits. Don't concentrate massive wealth into one heir. The object is the avoidance of tyranny. Can you all see that?

Concentration of wealth is a problem. The dead should be composted back into the economy. Earth belongs to the Living. The dead should not rule the living. And, ya, I watched the Meadows fortune get broken up. It did good things for for about three thousand folks.

George W Bush demonstrated that the way to stimulate the Economy is to take money and give it to the little people who are short. They spend it immediately and the Multiplier Effect kicks in. Besides wouldn't you like to get a windfall hand full of cash? Tags: Let it rot - Earth belongs to the Living - Inequity - Concentration of Wealth

I do not favor Progressive Taxes, Inheritance Tax, or other tax the rich schemes. I do favor a ceiling on inheritance. When a rich guy dies, his kids and descendants should get plenty, (I favor ten times the average annual wage for each) the widow should retain the balance (there would be rules) after the kids and descendants take their share, and the kids should get another share upon the widow’s death. The rest should go to relatives, friends, and worthy causes. Bottom line: take good care of the family and then disperse the rest. Spread the wealth.

America is dedicated to freedom from tyrants. Tyrants can be good benevolent leaders, but when they go bad the people die. So, our founder decided to do without. How? Well, all entities need a list of abilities. You (they) we all need to be able to think up a plan, acquire materials and have of acquire sk**ls to put it together, and finally it is necessary to pay your bills. A tyrant needs this same list. So, the Framers of the Constitution divided the list. No office in Government owns all of these abilities. How this list was divided was recorded and constitutes the exceptionalism of the American Revolution. Great Britain is a tyranny and wanted to defeat our revolution in hopes of owning us again. They burned the records. They inflicted a mortal wound. We are dying.
