what's to prevent a wealthy parent from gifting wealth to their children while alive? This seems like the easiest thing of all for someone with a competent accountant to circumvent.

Bad for families building generational wealth who don't have it yet though, and boy do I hate the idea as a result.

In the current system 95% of families can't build generational wealth so the point seems moot

It's the temporarily embarrassed millionaire syndrome. Sorry but it just doesn't happen for most people due to the way the system works

The problem seems to be education. Plenty of immigrants are able to give their children better lives.
