If you set a number like 5 million it will eventually reach the middle class. For example, the AMT was created to tax billionaires, but I actually had to pay it one year because I sold some assets. Now middle class people have to potentially do two calculations to see if AMT applies (when you have a one time sale with a capital gain)

Repeal the stepped up basis for inheritance, repeal caps on payroll taxes, etc

That’s not true, considering 60% home ownership. How can most homes be owned by billionaires when most people own their homes. Are most people billionaires?
