No, it sucks to be an orphan under the current system.
Nobdy would be an orphan since every death would make each and every citizen a scion.
What the editecian 100% inheritence tax really does is separate todya's scions from their expectation unearned wealth from family connections and spread it to each and every citizen evenly.
I can understand why people whose soul contribution to the commonweal is inheriting money might object to it, of course.
Just imagine how unfiar it would be to those scions not to have the advantages that their inheritences will bring them?
Imagine how unfair it would be if they had the same right to inheritence as every other citizen.
Why...some of them might have no claim to merit simply by dint of their famial connections.
They'd be on essantially the same economic footing every quarter as every other citizen.
Yeah, that would be real bad for some of us, to be sure.
Like I said in an earlier post here. The wealth would park their money offshore, so the government couldn't touch it. It would not, and could not work. Probably the worst idea I've ever heard of.
A fair objection to the plan. But what if they couldn't?
Would you STILL object to the plan?
I absolutley would object. That would mean they have control of your money while your still alive.
