TBH, I'm intensely relaxed about the destruction of long-term wealth build-up: it's a route to inequality and undeserved riches.

I worry about dismantling working, productive smaller businesses (and they employment they provide) in service of preventing wealth concentration. In the US, at least, Big Wealth is really unaffected by estate taxes. Smaller businesses with less sophisticated ownership structure end up with a tax burden or being forced to liquidate.

You are being paid by the state for doing worthless “research” (actually being a commissar toeing the party line) and cheer the expropriation of your superior countrymen.

There is a simple word for what you are.

Destruction of long-term wealth would be a feature. The inevitable consolidation of wealth in our current economic system is the root of much of the pain we're feeling in the west today.
