Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

Then just sell your parents' house. Tough luck! WoW! I can't listen to this discussion anymore. These are the real problems a person faces.

"Oh my God, I have to sell my parents' house even though I already live in one that would be debt-free if I sold my parents' house in one go, and oh my God, there's even something left over for a brand new 100k car - I'm really doing badly, Mom surely wanted me to struggle with this, how do others manage with such problems? Well, whatever, I'll postpone it until tomorrow – first to the golf course."

.. the inheritance tax must be paid.. .

I have a different opinion. By the way, I myself will inherit very little, just for the back of my head. The inheritance that is claimed has already been taxed. Why on earth should the inheritance be heavily taxed again? Because others inherit and I do not? Because others then have more starting capital in life than I do? Because it is totally unfair that generations have worked hard in the other family and have built up a fortune through risk, business sense, and economic action? Sorry, I cannot understand that.

Au contraire - I can only poorly tolerate complaining at such a high level because so many people are doing extremely worse. We recently had another thread here exactly about this topic. "I can't afford the inheritance tax, whine whine" - then just sell the house and you will still have more than 70% of the world's population.

It was never my intention, if you have read my posts, to take away or redistribute wealth - I am a capitalist through and through - and that's why I am in favor of the state finally letting me keep more net from gross. But the state always needs more money instead of less because it has managed its budget poorly - and does not tackle urgent issues (e.g., pension reform). State quotas over 50% mean we are moving more and more towards socialism and redistribution, and we all know where that ends.

While we're at it, as a high earner I would also like the cold progression to be abolished. Why should I pay proportionally more taxes just because I have a well-paid job and maybe studied and got into debt for it?

We still live in a welfare state, so those who earn more have to give more than those who have little...

Oh come on... This "you will then be richer than a child in Sudan" is initially an inadmissible trump card argument for me.
Yes, I also found the thread the other day strange. But rather because the OP was so emotionally charged.

I absolutely agree with you. In a previous post, I also wrote that the contribution assessment ceiling should be dropped for the statutory health insurance funds.
My point is that the wealth to be inherited has already been extensively taxed. To tax it again, again, and again, I find inappropriate. At some point, enough is enough.
