Inheritance taxes only apply to rich people. So, at best, that tells you rich people care about what happens to their descendents. Do you have any evidence rich people care about the descendents of poor people?
>Do you have any evidence rich people care about the descendents of poor people?
No, but people care about their descendants, rich or poor.
My answer is a response to the poster’s question as to why he might care. And I believe most people do care what happens to their descendants.
It doesn't matter if rich people care about their own descendents. Everybody knows rich people will be fine. Poor people have minimal capacity to do anything about the situation.
No taxes ever apply to rich people.
It’s only ever something that holds the working and middle class down.
