> black-and-white thinking like this

What does "this" refer to? I am not advocating for zero inheritance tax (though it should be low) or zero income tax (current level seems to be in a reasonable range) or zero trust-busting/antitrust regulations (currently woefully underutilized). I assume this is the neo-feudal "king" you refer to - the corporate concentration of capital?

The only thing I objected to was entirely severing the chain of inheritance, to further cutting off parents from children (they are already mostly government educated). Objecting to one extreme proposition is not black and white thinking, unless one claims the opposite extreme is the only alternative.

Can you help me understand? It just seems that when we're talking about nuance and middle ground that rejecting one side seems a little biased.
