There are many solutions, many ways to limit the magnitude of differences of wealth.

But America is so thoroughly owned by the wealthy that implementing one of these solutions is not desirable. The legislature in America only works on behalf of the ultra wealthy and any legislation that passes will be to increase the magnitude of the wealth gap.

Also there's the aspect of how many Americans view themselves as temporarily inconvenienced millionaires. The average person doesn't want rules like this because they're sure it'll apply to them someday.

No... Most americans are just plain ignorant(not in a malicious way, just impossible to parse the signal through the noise on many topics).

A lot genuinely have no idea that there's a very high lower limit on inheritance tax... at the same time they hate the ultra rich.

This is genuinely a very schizophrenic country.
