Only across the pond I guess. One, tiny, small, insignificant problem… the ‘rich’ and ‘powerful’ will always have loopholes, and will always target legislation that benefits them in such a way that the only people your ‘take it all in inheritance’ tax will apply to is the very people you’re trying to help with said tax. People don’t live in a vacuum. If you create a tax on bananas, they’ll buy strawberries or plantains. Whatever you tax, they’ll avoid, whatever benefits them financially, they’ll move towards. It’s as if liberals have lived in a time-controlled bubble their entire lives where no laws have every affected them and are constantly promoting laws/movements that affect everyone else… just not them.
I have a really awesome idea: spin off your royal family crap, confiscate everything they own, hold an auction, sell it all off, and then start taxing your estates at 50% per year until all of your ‘gentry’ class is gone.
And then wait for monkeys to fly out of my arsh…..
