Why on earth do you want to take the Walton family wealth away? Has it not been earned? Didn't Sam spend his life building it? If he'd been your grandfather would you give it all away? (of course you'd have to argue with the other maybe 20-30 children and grandchildren who currently share in that wealth).
Who do you think deserves what the Waltons spent lifetimes building more than the Waltons who have undoubtedly already given billions away while employing millions and millions of others over the last 60 years?
Do you have some 'basement level' of wealth that you would allow families to retain? Or do you demand that ALL wealth from every generation somehow pass to the State upon that generation's death, for use as the State sees fit?
If a father dies first, does his wife get to keep the family wealth until her death, or does she have to relinguish 50% to the tax man at the funeral of her husband? And if any one of us is foolish enough to still be living in our parent's basement when they die, are we immediately out on the street as the State soaks-up all their assets?
Do you think such a world somehow more 'just'??? What is just about anyone other than the individual who earned a dollar being given that dollar?
