I agree, and on inheritance anything over like $1m should be taxed heavily. Anything over say $10m or so should be taxed at or near 100%.

Inheritance tax is very good and fair. But a tricky problem is that if one place has a big inheritance tax, and another place doesn't - then rich people basically just put all their money in the place with no inheritance tax. ... We should do it anyway, but it does mean the bulk of that money probably won't get taxed.

Yeah, the race to the bottom is always an issue. It should still be done, but it needs to be considered.
