re: Why isn't an extreme wealth/inheritance tax pushed more by progressives?

I'm conflicted and biased on this topic.

I don't like the image of the government picking at your estate like a vultures on a carcass after you pass. BUT, I do believe that locking up funds in irrevocable trusts for generations to come doesn't do much in the way of wealth redistribution or for economic growth.

It's definitely a tricky topic. that said, I wouldn't riot if it increased.
