United Airlines CEO wants a wealth tax, but Americans deserve to keep their legacy

United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby advocates for a national wealth tax and an inheritance tax approaching 100% on amounts exceeding a threshold.

My response is simple: Washington should not become the principal beneficiary of the American Dream.

According to reporting highlighted by Fox Business, Kirby believes wealth inequality requires a national response. He has every right to make that argument. But a proposal to confiscate nearly everything above a government-determined threshold deserves a forceful challenge.
