I think at some point one guy can have too much and I think it's reasonable to consider putting some of that 'back in the pool' somehow. I'm thinking about this as I go, but maybe a death tax or something?

People who study these things have observed that Millennials are the first generation in about 100 years whose material station in life will be determined mostly by inheritance. We're basically reverting to the inter-generational class structure of the 19th and 18th centuries. But inheritance is a taboo subject in North America, so it's not talked about at all.
