Post #13416 by sykesix on the Berkshire Hathaway board

If someone appears to be repeatedly personal, lean towards patience as they might not mean offense. If you are sure, however, then do not deepen the problem by being negative; instead, simply place them on ignore by clicking the unhappy yellow face to the right of their name.

Never heard that. Property taxes are a form of wealth tax, including the portion of an auto registration fee that is based on the value of the car. The estate tax is a form of wealth tax.

It is a grey area. The constitution forbids "direct taxes" which many people believe would preclude wealth taxes. But the states are not bound by this requirement, hence property taxes.

Estate taxes are a transfer tax, and technically paid by the heirs of the estate.
