But if they just repealed it, I'd be for that (even though I do recognize it is kind of gross to see fortunes like the Walton family's bloat to fantastic levels).

Um, honey? That is too estate tax repeal.
You and Paris are paying the same % amount -- you are clearing $425,000 when you sell the $500k thingie immediately; she gets 425 million on 500 million. It's just a matter of zeros.
I can see an argument that that's fair.
ETA Do you want the step up in basis AND no estate tax? So that you get $500,000 free and clear, and Paris gets $500 million free and clear?
