Reading of the hardship these families go through, I’m relieved that the House last week voted to repeal the Federal Estate Tax, which presently only has a per person exemption of $5.43 million.
Well to do people use private jets. Yawn. Non-story.
If I became a billionaire tomorrow, I’d do the same. My sister flies via corporate jet in her job (for business purposes, not personal) and it’s a great perk and I get the appeal.
My brother had a close friend who was a pilot for a very well known billionaire. When the billionaire’s kids acted up on the plane, they’d be “punished” by having to fly back on a commercial airline.
Great idea!
While my family cannot afford it, it does serve a purpose.
I have paid $$$ for airfare and $$$ for a hotel to attend college visits with screaming young children in attendance. What a waste.
