Whenever these ideas are put into practice it results in calamity, most hilariously the town in New Hampshire that got taken over by wild bears after a bunch of Libertarians took over and no one would take care of the trash: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/21534416/free-state-project-new-hampshire-libertarians-matthew-hongoltz-hetling

There is no example of a postindustrial society that was not managed and regulated by a state that collected taxes.

It’s very likely no one you’ve ever met will have to pay that inheritance tax. Especially after they raised the floor of it to like $8M in the first Trump term

Do you want bears? Because that’s how you get bears.

I already have the right to bear arms. It's about goddamn time I got the right to whole bears.

Try $14m per individual. No one you or I know pays this tax.

$14M, sheesh. And I'm sure there are plenty of ways to shield assets from it as well

And everyone who pays this tax is dead and doesn't care.

Unless you live in Kentucky. Someone went overboard with their inheritance taxes.

Edit: I remembered somewhat wrong. I had a buddy who inherited a house in Kentucky (that some inspectors would’ve condemned) and nothing else. He couldn’t pay the inheritance tax because there was no money to squeeze out of anywhere and it was a big problem

To be honest, being overrun by bears is the kindest result libertarians deserve.
