Others wrote their own NYT editorials in response to Romney: https://archive.ph/iPN3E

On a related note: I was intrigued to see Vitalik Buterin talk about wealth taxes in a post today. He favors "diffusing not dollars, but the means of production." So he favors somehow distributing capital and investment more broadly? At any rate, I think it's a sign of strength in the Ethereum community that Vitalik is engaging with these ideas. https://vitalik.eth.limo/general/2025/12/30/balance_of_power...

I would like to see income tax eliminated in favor of estate and capital gains taxes.

If capitalism is actually the goal then wealthy heirs are a hugely inefficient drain on the system of production, retail, and transactions.
