   Chuck Collins, co-founder of United for a Fair Economy (UFE), which advocates on issues of wage and income inequality, commented that by progressively taxing those who have amassed the most wealth in life, "we recycle some of that wealth, so that others can have the same opportunity."
   ...
   Collins of UFE said that progressive advocates, forced into a defensive position, are "not thinking proactively about this," instead concentrating their efforts on freezing the tax around current levels, rather than pushing for more redistributive tax system.
   
   Unlike more pragmatic organizations, UFE seeks to make the estate tax structure more progressive, raising the top rate for estates worth over $20 million.But according to Collins, the prevailing theme in the anti-repeal movement has been "‘Let's cut a deal,' as opposed to, ‘What is another way to maybe frame this even more boldly, and within American traditions?'"
   
   Collins fears that if groups advocating for economic equality do not step up the fight to protect the estate tax, they could be setting themselves up for bigger defeats in the future."It's the most progressive tax," he said.
