This is why repealing the estate tax and alternative minimum tax is so important for the little people: if Trump's kids keep more of his money they can sue more small businesses and stiff them and build more golf courses overseas. Why don't libtards and BLM understand this? smh

If government wasn't taxing away it all, we'd have money for retirement in private sector too.

AMT was meant to catch the richest of the rich. They should keep and say anyone makng say over 600k a year or so should be subject. Maybe double or triple the estate tax limits or categories .
But they could start with cuts-10% off the whole governemnt -DEA, military, etc etc. I guess we may just become like Argentina at this rate.

Life was more strenuous than it is now. By 60 something your body could not give any more.
When I die I hope there's unfinished work on my desk at work. Regardless how old I am.

because if it wasn't taxed twice the poor retirees would instantly be rich! if Ivanka has more money the poor retirees can afford a mercedes RV! MAGA!

It's taxed once already, why tax it again?

So if government takes more away from us in private sector, how are we in private sector supposed to have more money left for retirement?
See? they've legally taken away the futures of not just the young, but the old too! MAGA

“The little people are drowning, and nobody wants to talk about it,” Joanne said. “Us middle-class, or lower-class, people are just not part of anything politicians decide.”
Last year, the Molnars grew more optimistic when they heard Trump promising in campaign speeches to help the “forgotten people.” Like a majority of older voters, Joanne voted for Trump. She said she thought maybe a businessman, an outsider, would finally address the economic issues that matter to her.
But the Molnars said that with each passing week of the Trump presidency, they are growing less hopeful.
“We’ll see. I’m just getting a little worried now,” Joanne said. “I just think he’s not going to be helping the lower class as much as he thought he would.”
The recent battle to repeal Obamacare was “kind of scary,” she said, noting that Trump supported legislation that would have slashed Medicaid and left more people without government-subsidized insurance. Although the effort failed, Joanne and Mark remain nervous.
“The rich help the rich, and I’m starting to think that not enough will fall down to us,” Mark said, as he methodically bolted together one of 170 new picnic tables.
Mark signed up to begin collecting Social Security this summer. Even with those monthly checks, he figures he’ll have to work at least 10 more years.
“Forget the government. It’s got to be ‘We the People,’ ” he said. “We’re on our own. You have to fend for yourself.”
