The X user sparbuchfeinde wrote that the abolition of inheritance tax in Sweden is one of the best-studied tax reforms in the world. State tax revenues were higher afterwards than before, and German economists knew that, he claimed. At the same time, according to his portrayal, they considered who financed their institutes and provided them with reach, significance, and invitations to public broadcasting. Leftist parties like the SPD relied on the narrative that the rich did not pay taxes. The envy stirred up by this currently secures their political survival, wrote sparbuchfeinde. #Erbschaftsteuer #Steuern #Ökonomie (translated)

Sparbuchfeinde described the case of a childless deceased brother, whose siblings inherited a paid-off house worth 800,000 euros and 50,000 euros in bank savings. He wrote that an inheritance tax of 249,000 euros would be due; the tax forces the heirs to sell the house instead of keeping it in the family. The tax exemption amounts to 20,000 euros, both among siblings and with strangers. Sparbuchfeinde argued that those who establish such rules see families as an enemy image. #Erbschaftsteuer #Familienpolitik #Finanzen (translated)
