The primary metric in OP is income inequality, which is historically high. You're primarily addressing wealth, which is connected, but not the same. Taxing inheritance will do very little towards income inequality.

It's the natural selection of economic systems. The essence of socialism is the belief that even if you aren't good enough to survive in society, you still deserve to survive anyway.
