For context, it was clear from the outset that the right wing-free market gov would reject this. The proposed tax was submitted by the Juso (young socialist party) and it's pretty clear that it will lose a national vote as well by a large margin (as the Swiss voting population is worse free market brained than even the US).

Now why would I consider this still a good move by the Juso? Because it brings up debate. About inheritance tax, but also about the injust society in general and how rich people don't contribute their part. And in the long term, it moved the overton window to strech further to the left.

I'm Swiss and open to answer questions if you have any.
