You'll have to pardon me if I have limited sympathy for the ability of the heirs to rich (defined here as multiple millions of USD in value) estates as they clamor to inherit tax rates from before their births. I understand the emotional pain of losing the all-important family home, but I am unwilling to structure public policy around vast tax breaks so that families flush with unearned wealth keep it. Nobody likes paying taxes. It's literally never a pleasurable or enjoyable experience. Yet it's one that furthers society and allows it to do things like fund schools - a chronic problem in California.
