"If this actually happened - and some of the richest people in the world were dead people - it would have a very different response than a simple article about the possibility of something far off in the future." And FD, you must be smart enough to realize that. Any human being is.

FD: "If Edward has already stated specific examples otherwise of any countries (such as in Europe) that have taken all of someone's wealth,"
Yes Germany has a wealth tax already, & France, but that's not what I was talking about. I was talking about future trends & how liberal ideas are winning - yes like high taxes to pay for healthcare & ideas like equal opportunity & basic fairness. So you can expect taxes to be used to further make economics fairer. You can expect more taxes on work-free fortunes & less taxes on food.
I don't care if you disagree - my point is these ideas are already winning so you can expect a "reanimation" fund wouldn't work but it would embarrass cryonics & make us look like crooks. (And waste money.)
FD, I wouldn't have had to explain this yet again if you'd had read my past posts.
