I mean why not just make an exception, if your estate exceeds something like $500 million, you start paying 55% or so for every dollar over $500 million. A tax free $500 million, I don't know anyone who would complain about that.

I'm just throwing numbers out btw, but we need to figure out a way to narrow the income/wealth gap, and if there's a better method to do that than increase taxes only on the wealthiest of the wealthy, I'd like to hear it.
Scott Adams has addressed this. He said that he would very likely stop working on his new projects if Hillary's estate tax plan was passed. And I believe him. The inputs to his estate has already been taxed at a pretty high rate; the estate tax, especially a high one, is just a great burden on top of all that.

Anyways, the reason it's important for somebody like Scott Adams to not be discouraged from working due to very high taxes is because they benefit society so much. He's working on an app that he thinks may one day be near the popularity level of Uber. This type of thing is relevant all over the place. We don't want to discourage production, but that's what high taxes do.
