“So-called “progressives” would like nothing better than to see estates taxed away year-by-year”
Disagree - people like, well, most Senators and Congresscritters have their wealth all bundled up away from the income tax and at the same time bemoan that “the rich don’t pay their fair share”. They have the best of both worlds.
They aren’t going to let their actual wealth get taxed.
That’s true, but I was referring more to the “man-in-the-street” type progressives, some of whom are referred to as “journalists”.
