The median inheritance is much larger than the $20k, but that study shows about half the inheritance money is spent or lost almost immediately.
I’m not saying it wouldn’t benefit anyone, it definitely would, but getting rid of billionaires will not fix any long standing issues with society because they aren’t the primary cause of those issues.
Do you have a source for that?
There are multiple situations that apply, you can look up studies on smaller lottery winners.
Also, inheritance spending.

How are you so confident that this is the case?
Because the money they have is absolutely tiny compared to other groups of people.
Trillions sounds like a lot, until you start talking about real estate or corporate spending.
They’re just easier to pick on/scapegoat, which is why they’re being targeted.
