I'm with you in that sentiment. I was saying let's say it's 2070 and Diode owns a jerky factory that he bought for 1 mil in 2020. He kicks it and leaves it to his son. His son just got a factory worth about 10 mil in 2070 dollars, so the government is more taxing the appreciation of the factory value in those 50 years than Diode Jr's inheritance... At least... I think that's the point? I've put off forming an opinion on it because it will literally never effect me
