Here in Indonesia we don't have inheritance tax whatsoever because it's not government business, also people that work on companies, the company usually pay the tax for you. So they are no tax season for us, it just checking to make sure everything it's already checked up.
One thing that Fat Electrician is a little bit off on is that the Germans put the first manmade object in space with the launch of a V-2 rocket to an altitude of 176 kilometers on June 20, 1944. So no matter what happened to the manhole cover, it was definitely never going to be the first manmade object in space. It is also possible that he is just thinking that the manhole cover would have gone into orbit, which it would not have...but it just proves he is still human and can make mistakes. LOL
Even if they could just increase tariffs to pay for everything, the individual taxpayer is still paying, because companies would just increase prices to cover the expense. The good thing that it would do is make the price of domestic goods more competitive, thereby bringing more manufacturing back to the US. Unfortunately, it would also cause our trading partners to increase tariffs on American goods.
