Taxes on inheritance are not regressive when you include a sensible floor. Current US Policy places the floor so this tax only affects families somewhere in the upper 1-10% of wealth. Taxes on investment are complex. Considering the fact that most humans do not have anything approaching a real investment portfolio, it's hard to understand what you could mean when you say this kind of tax is regressive. A properly progressive income tax should mean that more people can join the investment class. If the taxation within the investment class is actually regressive, then maybe we worry about that when the majority of humans have this problem.
