No, because rich people's kids shouldn't get free money based on who their parents were.

I would seek a 100% tax on all inheritance, because the concept is ridiculous.

Basically. Maybe only tax everything above $1 million or so, but at a certain point, all of it should start going to the government.
No it shouldn't. the government doesn't deserve a cent of what is meant for my children. Anyway that is unfeasible, it would never pass.

Do your children deserve that money? Should people be able to not work a day in their lives because of their rich parents while others work two jobs just to get by?

Do your children deserve that money?

Does a complete stranger?

I don't see how the latter part of the question is relevant unless you seek to use envy as a basis for crafting policy.

I'm saying I find it unfair that some have to work hard for little while some don't have to work at all. Do you find that fair?
