Au contraire. I see the benefit, despite having no children and a net worth below a million dollars.
The benefit I see is a more just (or slightly less unjust) tax code.

When I say 'fair' I mean equal. As in 20% always equals 20%. As in tax the poor and the rich equally and only once.
This thread is not about whether those who generate more should have to sacrifice more, so I'll just leave it at that.

I would like to see this law apply to everyone though. Not just for those that pertain to the $5 Million.

No clue honestly but you can't tell me there is not a solution for everyone. If I die and all I own is a car then I leave it to next of kin, that person has to pay taxes on it. That's Bs. Same for a house that is less than middle class value. Yet my poverty level mother owns one and if she leaves it to me I get nailed with taxes I will never be able to pay and hence will lose the house inevitably. You get what I am saying? This happens where I live constantly and it's not anything new.
