   A modest proposal: a 90 per cent inheritance tax on any estate valued at more than 2 million dollars. Normal, and even somewhat rich people can pass their stuff on to their kids. The ultra wealthy pay back society for all they've taken and *still* get to give a fuckton on money to their kids. I mean, 10 per cent of billions is still in the millions of dollars.
