Like I said...

It's hard. But if we make CG inescapable it should as a second order effect close the Buy Borrow Die loophole, and the super rich must fund their life some other way. Probably by selling assets to consume.

And putting a tamper on inheritance (which could be progressively taxed or capped) it has a second order effect of discouraging hoarding while alive.

So increasing inheritance tax (effectively) would mean a change of incentives for hoarding money. Which is the only thing that actually works.

Obviously, being a hard problem, there's no quick fix. But in the choice between slowing down the problem and not, we should do the former.

How do we "prevent" it? Well, we can throw the baby out with the bathwater. Is that your proposal?

As for your question: no intransigence please.
