Is there no downside of confiscating wealth upon transfer? I can't think of one. The former owner is dead and won't be missing it. The country as a whole provided the environment where these assets could be assembled and enjoyed for a lifetime. There are some who say it isn't fair to place a cost on a personal business that may be inherited, but nobody gets to keep even a part of a factory job or salaried employment. Nobody is talking about some total confiscation, that is a strawman argument. It is as I said, a negative feedback stabalizer for society. TP
