Why don't we do this?

In a letter to Joseph Milligan on April 6, 1816, Thomas Jefferson explicitly suggested that if individuals became so rich that their wealth could influence or challenge government, then their wealth should be decreased upon their death. He wrote, "If the overgrown wealth of an individual be deemed dangerous to the State, the best corrective is the law of equal inheritance to all in equal degree..."

I wonder... as the republican/ conservative mindset continues to narrow, at some point does it become invisible, or pop right out of existence or relevance? Is there some sort of sideways gravitational pull in there? If so do too many "facts" cause narrow black holes? Maybe it's not a sideways gravity but a compression due to resisting the pressure of reality.
