It should, IMO, be higher.
Especially when it's not your kids.
People dont understand how much money like 200.000$ actually is.
It should be lower for 200.000$ then slide up to 100% on anything above 1.000.000$ or so
People inheriting 200.000$ aren't causing the huge gap in wealth inequality
As I understand it, there's several people getting houses. Exact figures aren't given, but it's likely she's given away close to a million here.
It would be taxed per recipient, so it wouldn't go into the 100% territory
Nah, 200k is almost half of what someone earns in a lifetime (and thats before taxes, food, rent...) but I guess there are a lot of temporary embarrassed millionaires out here :-)
I get what you're saying, and in my ideal world inheritance would be limited to personal effects with sentimental value. I just don't think being more extreme is going to get us anywhere, and definitely has different moral concerns regarding high value items with sentimental value
