What's the cut to make it a la nina? -1.0?

Why is it acceptable for someone to inherit billions of dollars, without working for it? My issue is that we don’t actually live in a meritocracy.

After a few of your comments today I can say with confidence, you are a socialist. Capitalism is what drives progress from the smartest and hardest working people on the planet, they get financially rewarded for their insane amounts of work, which is what helps the world constantly advance. If the peasants payed perhaps 10% taxes and the rich people payed 50-70%, they would not be very happy. Sure they'd still be rich, but it just isn't fair for them. And they wouldn't be as motivated to reach that point, which in an advanced society that we live in, has consequences. There's a reason capitalist countries lead the world with innovation. If someone works 10x as hard as us, there is no reason that their reward for that should be paying a much higher % in taxes.
