Going down to particulars, strip individuals of rights to determine who gets their property and another group of people - through the elected or by mob action , should determine it. This creates more incentive to be part of the group that makes that determination than the group that actually creates wealth.
Secondly, the question of distribution comes up and the question of citizenry. If this is a high minded idea , not one based of millennial of social constructs of nationhood and citizenry , why not share the resources to everyone in the world, why only in a particular “country”.
Would you be happy if you have to make sacrifices to succeed , and I am very sure every success comes with a sacrifice just to give others who have not made such or similar sacrifices .
My assumption is that countries that have high inheritance tax create a disincentive to creators of wealth via aggregations / efficiency or disruption because such wealth would be stolen from them . You make enough just to be comfortable .
