            I actually agree what I think he meant was that the rich would rather be killed than taxed. Maybe it was just phrased poorly

              Yeah, killed just means they’re estate gets taxed during inheritance but by that point thay’re dead so it’s illogical to care. Much more realistic a narcissistic personality grasps for ways to avoid any unsavory changes in wealth status vs literally dying. They aren’t afraid of their life insurance policy activating, actually they might even look forward to it in a strange way.

      Right up until the moment it is.

      Everything dies. We literally do not know how to stop this. We’re real good at helping it along though.
