Ending the Estate Inheritance Tax
The estate inheritance tax is more than a policy issue — it is a constitutional violation and a direct assault on the security of American families. This case asserts that the government has no right to act as an “unwanted heir,” seizing property at death and destroying generational wealth. Our goal is clear: abolish this tax and restore the constitutional protections guaranteed to the people.
⚖️ Constitutional Grounds
- 5th Amendment — Takings Clause: Private property cannot be taken for public use without just compensation. The estate tax is a seizure at death that provides no compensation and no public benefit.
- 14th Amendment — Due Process & Liberty: Families are stripped of property not for any wrongdoing, but simply because of death. This deprives them of liberty and security without due process of law.
- 9th Amendment — Retained Rights of the People: The people retain rights not enumerated in the Constitution — including the natural right to preserve, protect, and pass down family property. By taxing inheritance, the government violates this retained right.
📊 Why This Matters
- Family Farms & Homes: Many families are forced to sell farms and small businesses just to pay inheritance taxes.
- Double Taxation: Estates are taxed again at death even though property was already taxed during the owner’s life.
- Middle-Class Harm: Wealthy elites shield assets with trusts and loopholes, while working families carry the burden.
- Generational Wealth Destruction: Instead of securing the future, this tax robs families of stability, education, and opportunity for their children.
🛡️ The Duty of Every American
The Constitution is not self-enforcing — it relies on the people to uphold it. Every American has a duty to protect their rights, their families, and the next generation from unconstitutional government overreach. If we fail to act, we surrender these rights not just for ourselves, but for our children and grandchildren.
By uniting in this mass tort, we fulfill our responsibility as citizens: to preserve liberty, defend property, and secure the future.
🚨 The Bottom Line
The estate inheritance tax is unconstitutional. It seizes private property without just cause, punishes families at their most vulnerable, and undermines the spirit of liberty the Constitution was written to protect.
Abolishing it is not only good policy — it is a restoration of constitutional rights and a safeguard for future generations.
