Good thought, but THEY make the laws. THEY enforce the laws. THEY are not affected by THEIR laws. It would only harm YOU and ME. Back to square one.
If we really want to manipulate 'THEM', then 'WE' need to wean ourselves from THEIR system. Not so simple now is it? To affect TRUE change, we need to be self supportive as much as possible. STOP feeding them. STOP feeding THEIR system. Again...not...so...simple! It's all WE know and THEY are well aware of it.
I have a violin owned by my grandfather. I want to pass it to my kids. Does it have to be sold and the proceeds given to the government when I die? If not, can I pass on things but not money? What about gold bars? I want to give my daughter a wedding present of $10,000. She's 5 years old. You mean I can't put that it my will? There's more, but try these first. By the way, if my family supported me while I was working, don't they deserve it more than the government? (Above examples were hypotheticals)
My mom died with 100k and it was split up between my family and I got 20k. I'm glad there isn't a 100% inheritance tax.
Who is going to enforce any of these laws against the elite?

I see a meshing of your plan and my ideas... Though your plan is a declaration of freedom and my ideas deal with the freedom from the love of money (by eliminating it - eliminating the NEED for it) we both have a positive, freedom-oriented goal.
I hope you read my two threads.

You can pass down objects to your kin, but they cannot be sold and if they are sold the proceeds go to the Government.
You have to stop thinking about what you are losing (very little) and look at what you are gaining. Your making it impossible for Bloodlines to rule. Your taking wealth away from the rich. Your making it possible for your child to compete with a Rothschild or a Rockefeller.
The basic reason behind this is to create a MERITOCRATIC world. A world where the skilled arise because of their skill, determination, and hard work not because Daddy is a millionaire.

Then your a selfish bastard. Sure you got that 20k and I know that helped your life, but someone else got nothing from their mom and now because their parents were not rich they don't have the same chance as you. That 20k could have got them through college, or saved them from debt. Why should you get the chance because of circumstances outside your realm of manipulation? That is no better then the Elite.

But the sheeple wont go for it
because they want to be like the rich and powerfu. It really
is instinctive to want all the money and power.
