Well one good point would be with your death. Inheriting large fortunes has obviously nothing to do with resourcefulness and inventiveness.

- taneq 8y agoMy wealth is mine to do what I want with, including to give it to someone else (unless you're proposing that wealth be somehow nontransferable?) Inheritance isn't about the receiver getting something for nothing, it's about the right of the deceased to have their possessions disposed of as they see fit.
- snarfybarfy 8y agoWhy would it only be about one side? Why is it NOT about the reveiver getting something for free? Why do I have to pay income tax on money I earned by working all year? I agree it is morally more complicated on the giver side, but on the taker side it is fairly clear cut. On the other hand the giver is dead and why should he have any more rights?
