I just did propose a better system. In fact, I proposed several. And no, it's not underlined when it's misspelled. Spelling is for 4th graders, I will have no part in it at this point in my life.

Anyways.

Proposal #1: Eliminate the fucking thing entirley

Proposal #2: Model the "wealth curve" as the exponential curve it is. Put your tax amount at the "average" tax point in question based on an exponential wealth curve from 10,000 to 10,000,000,00 or whatever upper cap is needed with respect to a final cap of %50 at whatever the top level is. Determineing the "top" cap would be difficult and at the drop of a hat I don't have a full-on mathematical solution but something like this could exist. IE, it would be an exponentially increasing tax rate up to a certain cap, similar to a flat tax but not flat because it adjusted for the exponential difference in wealth from top to bottom. Again this is just a possible idea if you can kind of see what I'm getting at .

Proposal #3: Model the system after income taxes, IE, death tax up to 1,000,000 pays nothing, 1,000,000-5,000,000 pays %15, 5,000,000-25,000,000 pays %25, etc. At least attempt to make it fair.

Proposal #4: Adjust the threshhold to a meangingful number so as to not completley terrorize the middle-to-upper middle class people.

None of this would ever happen of course, because it's a money grab by the liberals in the federal government and they can tell their bottom of the barrel constituents that they're "sticking it to the rich people" to scrounge up votes. That's pretty much why this tax exists, it has a lot less to do with preventing the wealthiest families in the US from accruing too much wealth.
