We know you think it should be, nothing you've said explains the 'why' beyond increasing taxation for its own sake, and there are other venues out there including recovering tax from people who are supposed to be paying their fair share and aren't.

Well having a conversation on this is going to be hard if you just ignore certain things I say and then strawman my position. Again, people born into families that have money have basically won a lotto, so what's the downside to taxing those inheritances? Those who lucked their way into a pile of money they didn't work for, instead will luck into a smaller pile of money? Egads, what an unthinkable proposition!
