    That’s something I can agree with. I think there’s a very reasonable compromise somewhere between “children can’t have a better life than their parents” and “five families own everything forever, including several governments.” $500 million still seems pretty damn high I’d cut that to 50 or even 5.

      The problem is selling the law to the lower middle class because they all believe they can get this rich and the tax will affect them.

      I’d rather have a higher than it should be limit and reach the 0.01% obscenely rich than have the law beaten to death.

      $5 mil is somewhat achievable. While bad, they aren’t as bad as those who have $5 BILLION in assets.

      Someone who have $5 million has more in common with the poor than those who have $5 billion.
