Of course it's politically untenable, so it won't happen.
I don't see the logic here. We should enact an inheritance/estate tax to prevent becoming the US...Although they have had such a tax for basically two hundred years in one form or another?

We already pay enough tax and frankly there are a chunk of these that are already double dipping by the governments. I don't think we need another egregious example of that idea.
