Inheritance Tax and Income Inequality
Inheritance tax is supported by various institutions, including the OECD, due to its role in addressing income inequality.

The top 20% of households in OECD countries inherit 50 times more wealth than the bottom 20%, accentuating the cycle of poverty for the less affluent.
