people can only inherit a certain amount of money

Why Is This Idea Important?: Everyone should contribute in life. And this will prevent people from long term hoarding of money and resources.

Everyone should be allowed to pass down money to there loved ones. But to a certain point. I think a responsible limit of money should be set, so people will have to contribute in life but as well have a break. Obviously there should be minimal exceptions, like handicap and stuff.The rest of the money collected if it was not given away should be thrown into grant programs to help the poor, students struggling from loans, and some low income families.

    I believe that inheritance is already taxed. You may want to resubmit with a rephrasing along the lines "Raise inheritance taxes." It would help to study the specifics of inheritance taxes in depth so you can make an insightful recommendation.

    Gee, I wonder if anyone in your family established impressive savings by working hard all their life.

    When you rob George to give it to Paul, you can always count on Paul's support.

    I recently asked my friend's little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be president some day.

    Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there, so I asked her, "If you were president what would be the first thing you would do?"

    She replied, "I'd give food and houses to all the homeless people."

    Her parents beamed.

    "Wow... what a worthy goal." I told her, "But you don't have to wait until you're president to do that. You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and sweep my yard, and I'll pay you $50. Then I'll take you over to the grocery store where homeless guys hang out, and you can give them the $50, you earned, to use toward food and a new house."

    She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, "Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?"

    I said, "Welcome to the Republican Party."

    Her parents still aren't speaking to me.
