When I hear having to sell or lose it, that tells me that things are way out of hand with our government. Once you hit a certain age they should free you from taxes, like say 60.
Whoa, wait one minute! You really want the really wealthy to be free of taxes? I don't think you mean that.
The wealthiest 1% already control half the wealth in the US ... and "In 1962, the top 1% had 125 times the net worth of the median household. That shot up to 288 times by 2010 ...."
Filthy Rich. The top 5% of US citizens own 59% of the wealth. As the rich are getting richer, the middle class is getting poorer.
And you want more of that? I doubt it. It's not really a govt issue, it's a people issue, that is, people voting for congress members, House and Senate, as well as at state and local levels, who continue to pass laws that make the wealthy wealthier. It is about wealth distribution, but not taking from the rich and giving to the poor. Just the exact opposite -- take from the poor and middle class and give to the rich.
Wealth and money controls the votes, controls the political advertising, and ultimately dumbfounds and confuses the voter to believe the crap about too much govt, too much regulation, etc. Because under the "too much govt and too much regulation" scenario, which is controlled by the rich, the rich are getting richer. The rich structure govt and regulation to accomplish this. "Too much govt and too many regulations" is ruse perpetrated by those who, once they get into office, will make sure govt does their bidding and regulations insure their accumulation of wealth.
A beginning solution is to get the money out of elections. But even the Supreme Court is in the pockets of the wealthy, as the Citizens United case handed the country over to the wealthy in their ability to control govt and insure this continuing wealth transfer to the rich.
I suspect you are losing this battle and don't even know it because you are falling for the ruse and blaming govt -- instead, blame the wealthy who control the show and are making sure you lose ... lose your land, your home, your job, your health care, and the list goes on. Because every time you lose, they win. Hip Hip Hooray!
