Idk. I'm in favour of the concept, but I thought the generally proposed number was much higher
Thomas Piketty has argued that all citizens in France should be given a once-off payment at 25 of €120,000, as a type of universal inheritance.
But yes, it needs to be funded by IHT to effectively give an equitable "inheritance" to younger people at a point when they can use it to develop themselves, rather than enabling 50yos to build a nice kitchen extension.

I think it's a good idea and will add value as people can use it for education / investment / housing, but it should come out if wealth and inheritance taxes.
I mean if I inheritance drives this inequality maybe tax that more?
