Buy, Borrow, Die – Explained
Make an exemption for a primary residence. Everything else can go. Stop letting people hoard wealth like dragons.

There is already a 13.something million dollar exception. If the house is worth more than that it should be taxed anyway.

Without a cap, overpriced 8- or 9-figure residences will themselves become the vehicle of wealth transfer, rather than irrevocable trusts.

Make a cap on the value of house. What do people need $100 million stupid ugly houses for anyway. None of these billionaires have good taste anyway.

No. People have a right to their property, including wealth.

We're talking about what happens when someone dies. The estate tax already exists. Is that a violation of the right?

Is it that common for people to hoard dragons?

No, you have to be very wealthy to afford one.
