- A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE ESTATE TAX substack.com/@deathandtax...
- The Robber Barons owned 4% of total wealth... today that stands at 12%.Bringing political power, media ownership and the destruction of any meritocracy at the heart of the "American Dream". Krigman's talk with Zucman is wonderful lesson --> bit.ly/49Jncgb @janetgornick.bsky.social
- "the wealthiest 1% held about $55 trillion in assets in the third quarter of 2025 - roughly equal to the wealth held by the bottom 90% of Americans combined.".... Perfect time to eliminate the estate tax #inequality #taxes @itep.org @4taxfairness.bsky.social @fairshareamerica.bsky.social

- Many of the super wealthy threaten to leave rather than paying a fraction of their billions to their struggling neighbors. Let us commend those who see paying their fair share as patriotic. #taxes

- "Market Shift" by the artist Christoph Niemann says it all... The stock market tripled between 2003-2024. The richest 10% own 93 % of stock wealth. This is not sustainable. A properly working estate tax needs to be part of the solution. deathandtaxesfilm.com
- On top of tax-breaks & loopholes for the wealthy, Trump is now defunding the IRS. Life is good for the super-rich, at the expense of everyone else.

- We all will get sick... for some Americans that means they will also go broke! If we closed the loopholes- like the stepped up basis, that allow the wealthiest of Americans to easily avoid paying taxes - then we could help our sick friends and neighbor in their time of need. #taxes

- My dad and millions of others went to college for free on the GI Bill… paid for by taxes which built the middle class of the 1950s and 60s. Now the cost of an education is prohibitive to most. If the wealthiest paid a fair share - instead of avoiding taxes so successfully- that could change.
