In a recent episode of 'Editorial', Mr. Sujit Nair delved into the topic of taxing inherited wealth, prompted by a statement from Sam Pitroda, Chairman of Indian Overseas Congress. Pitroda, in an interview, discussed the rationale behind wealth redistribution, citing the example of inheritance tax in the United States. He characterized it as an intriguing policy that prioritizes the public interest over the super-rich. Pitroda explained that under this law, if someone possesses $100 million in wealth and passes away, only 45% of it can be transferred to their children, with the remaining 55% claimed by the government. He viewed this as a fair measure, emphasizing the notion that individuals who accumulate wealth during their lifetime should contribute a portion of it back to society upon their passing.
