Good job
MY biggest “issue” with it is being taxed on something that’s already been taxed annulay (be it real estate, savings, investment income) and will continue to be taxed post inheretence

I hear you, but the fact that we are running deficits means that we aren’t paying enough taxes while we are alive. I don’t care whether we cut spending, raise taxes, both, but the fact is that WE aren’t paying our bills. Part of the reason our estates have the value they do is because we don’t count our future tax liabilities against the estates. That is most assuredly a payable just like any loan your estate may owe to a bank would reduce your net worth.
