I think that's the point? I've put off forming an opinion on it because it will literally never effect me

the problem with that logic is diode continually paid taxes operating that company in america for 50 years. he paid taxes on his salary, on the property, took it from his employees, paid taxes on everything involved with owning and operating the business. his son will continue paying those taxes by running the company, there is no need for the government to step in and take more.
