Perhaps we should see how the problems which you
highlight are resolved on our close allies such as the USA,
Japan Korea, UK etc who all have the higher rate of
inheritance tax.

I'm sure that these countries have put a lot of thought
into the fairness of their respective regimes; otherwise it would have been
voted down over generations of elections....eh?(NB: They are all democracies)

It is common knowledge that small businesses and Farmers
squirrel away taxable income in the form of "property improvements"
which is not realised as taxable until sold. Of course the family home is exempt
from Capital Gains Tax which reminds me:

a few months ago we were invited to a neighbours place for drinks etc
to celebrate the 'reno" . The owner owns an upmarket cafe and, surprise, surprise,
the massive newly renoed kitchen looked very much like his cafe fitout and fixures-wise
with the Harley Davidson style coffee machine etc etc.

When we retired to the den/bar down stairs well my wife said that it was just like being in the Cafe
even down to the drinks fridges and the special steak aging chiller. Add to that, this childless couple
change houses every few years because the wife always needs something new.....it keeps you young, she said!

Their last house sold for $135 mil 18 months ago with a 4 car garage, swimming pool , sauna and decks galore
(all added by them for their comfort.....but they sold it)

Happy to take the hospitality of your neighbour then slag your head off.

Maybe the childless couple cannot have children. Maybe that is their greatest sorrow in life

Maybe you could show some compassion.

Never judge a book by its cover.

And perhaps the $1.35 million house went to a lovely family with children.

Your post is a sad indictment of judging others.
