It is logical for a U.S. person to give their money away while they are alive, as the government will take it from you when you die in taxes.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The American people are not just being taxed to death; they're being taxed after death. But, no one should have to sell the life's work of a parent or a loved one just to pay the federal government.
If you are money, then, when you die, you will be spent.
There is no law saying you have to die before your assets can be passed to loved ones. In fact, gifting earlier can be a lovely way to witness how your money helps your family thrive.
Remember that government doesn't earn one single dollar it spends. In order for you to get money from the government, that money must first be taken from somebody else.
I cannot think of a more personally rewarding and appropriate use of wealth than to give while one is living.
Once you have a certain amount of money, it ceases to be an issue. I'd rather put my cultural imprint on the fabric of life. After money, all you want is immortality.
Just dying should not be a reason for taxes.
I want to give away the money. I don't want to die with it. I want the money to be used well.
We all pay for life with death, so everything in between should be free.
I've always thought that people who left a great deal of money in their will never enjoyed the great honor and privilege and heart-rendering feeling of giving to others during their lifetime, because they were too selfish to give to others while they were alive, so they made sure they were dead and couldn't use it anymore.
