I read over it too and had to smile. Economics are tough and without a shortage of solutions that rationalize only a fraction of reality.

I always thought that inheritance tax is very appealing too. It's just that it used to be impossible because it goes against the most power full interests + infinite legal loopholes.

In addition, today, it's not sure if people are going to die anymore at all. Some rich person could easily be kept on life support for decades, never mind moving abroad.

Wow. If that's the *starting point* for a debate on restructuring of
EU debt you all are in deep doo doo! It's almost completely
unintelligible!

A modest proposal that doesn't require turning over control to
bankers, who are the only people who could understand something like
that proposal (if indeed even they do, which I doubt): Inheritance
taxes in Greece are among the lowest in the world, as low as 1% for
real estate inherited by children. So the Greek citizens have not only
been gaming the system by taking out way more in pensions than they
have been paying in for generations, they are now passing these
essentially stolen funds on to their relatives when they die. A 100%
tax on inheritance (i.e., abolish that patently immoral practice)
would solve this problem and *no one* would have to take a "hair cut",
they just won't be able to profit from their relative's having been
able to game the system.

Oh, and it also largely solves the wealth inequality problem as a side
effect. How many Greek millionaires (or children of millionaires) do
you expect to see out rioting in the street when somebody seriously
proposes this?

This is part of the Matchism plan:
