I could have sworn that there was a "death tax" that was one of the causes of the American Revolutionary War, but I've looked and can't find it. Anybody have any leads?-"Shut up, Brx." 21:10, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

I think you are referring to the stamp tax. ТyTalk. 21:13, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Unconstitutional

Where in the Constitution does it say the government can do this? I am not affected, but this is still class warfare. Talsley (talk) 12:07, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

Article 1, Section 8: "The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;" This is a tax. There you go. –SuspectedReplicant Support democracy - Ace is the REAL moderator 12:19, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
It is still class warfare. Talsley (talk) 12:21, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
Please don't try to tell someone from the North of England about class warfare. –SuspectedReplicant Support democracy - Ace is the REAL moderator 13:05, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
Your country is beyond hope, the communists took over already. From the third way to the third rail. Talsley (talk) 13:47, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
See! You cannot refute me! Talsley (talk) 21:35, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Neologism?

Inheritance Tax was called Death Duties in the UK until 1975.

[edit] Request some eyes

Could someone with some knowledge of the issue have a look and comment if (1) the information is still valid and (2) if it's on-mission? It strikes me that this is more about politicking and dogwhistles rather than woo and authoritarianism. --Kels (talk) 00:18, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

seems right. no woo involved, if you leave a large estate our heirs pay some tax on it. Hamster (talk) 02:09, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
This seems very much linked to Economic inequality (and some similar articles) to me; I have added some more (non US politics) information to it, I will try to do some more research and make it better. Carpetsmoker (talk) 14:30, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

[edit] Request for Deletion

Further to the previous message, totally off-mission and not much more than a stub besides. Even if it was improved I can't see it being relevant. --Kels (talk) 21:28, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
