So get rid of the step-up basis at death. There is no good reason for that to exist.


Go ahead and lobby Congress to pass that. See how easily you can get that done against the lobbying from the holders of that wealth.

Now how do we change the system? Put it in front of the entire public how much higher a percentage of their wealth they give up compared to these few, and get the entire public to fight for equity.


I agree, but even Biden’s opening gambit, which I believe has very little chance of passing as is, doesn’t eliminate it entirely. It seems to have powerful supporters.
