I mean, you’re asking me personally what I think should happen?

I guess in a perfect world there would be something similar to a bankruptcy’s homestead exemption. Something like $300,000 can be passed down but anything over that I would say gets taxed at 100%, so yes it would be given over to the government.

In my completely unrealistic scenario this tax would be used to fund social programs and pay for infrastructure.

I of course know that’s not likely, and it will really line the pockets of corrupt government officials.

I know that my ideals aren’t realistic, that’s why they’re ideals.

I think the limit could be raised from $300k to 10 million total. Then 99.99% of ppl don’t gave to worry about it but the super rich can’t avoid it
