"From the point of view of purely individual achievement, it indeed is an accidental circumstance." Yet there's precious little of purely individual achievement. From the upbringing and help you get from your parents, the safety and convenience of the town you grow up in, the education system you benefit from, to the health system that takes care of you when you're sick, as well as makes sure the food you buy is safe for consumption. Whether paid for by taxes, or out of your (parents') pocket, these are all systems there to help you, built by the society you live in, in most cases also your ancestors, so their children would be better off. To turn your back on all this work and claim it's just an accident of birth is the pinnacle of ungratefulness. Should we take this line of thought to its logical conclusion, and randomly reassign children to different parents, in different countries, to do away with all inheritance, not just private inheritance?
