This is what Republican presidents aim for when they are in office

Make your own money and stop stealing from others, leach!

More DemoKKKrat lies, Republicans lower taxes for everyone who works, and when taxes are lowered on the wealthy then that means prices go down and more people are hired which helps the economy, improves the lives of everyone willing to work and increases revenue.

DemoKKKrats however say they are only raising taxes on the very wealthy but that's largely a lie because the wealthy don't pay for tax increases, instead to make up for the tax increases they lay people off and raise their prices so it ends up being the middle class who pays which coincidentally just happens to be the demographic that doesn't typically vote for the DemoKKKrat cult.

You need to be educated, your cult is clearly feeding you lies and misinformation.

Yeah, because according to parasites like you, people shouldn't be allowed to keep what they earned (and ALREADY paid tax on).

Duh.

Self righteous nonsense in the name of extortion. That's all it is. That money has already had the taxes paid on it. This is nothing but extortion to make losers like yourself feel better. You get to, "stick it to the man" because he has something you covet. I guarantee if the shoe was on the other foot, you'd want to be able to keep more of your inheritance too. Which makes you a hypocrite.

And republicans do lower taxes for all. You just believe the lies democrats tell you, because all they do is buy your vote with taxpayer money. I'm a lifelong conservative and I believe that EVERYONE should pay the same tax rate. That is what is fair.

The Stamp Tax of 1797

In 1797, the U.S. Congress chose a system of stamp
duties as a source of revenue in order to raise funds
for a Navy to defend the nation’s interests in response to an undeclared war with France that had begun in 1794. Federal stamps were required on wills
offered for probate, as well as on inventories and
letters of administration. Stamps also were required
on receipts and discharges from legacies and intestate
distributions of property.6 Taxes were levied as follows: 10 cents on the inventories of the effects of deceased persons, and 50 cents on the probate of wills
and letters of administration. The tax on the receipt
of legacies was levied on bequests larger than $50,
from which widows (but not widowers), children,
and grandchildren were exempt. Bequests between
$50 and $100 were taxed 25 cents; those between
$100 and $500 were taxed 50 cents; and an additional $1 was added for each subsequent $500 bequest.
In 1802, the crisis ended, and the tax was repealed.

Taxation of property transfers at death can be traced back to ancient Egypt as early as 700 B.C.
Nearly 2,000 years ago, Roman Emperor Caesar Augustus imposed the Vicesina Hereditatium, a tax on successions and legacies to all but close relatives
