Ok Buddy, lets talk about your idea. What would a 100% tax on death do for the economy?

Would it increase or decrease wealth accumulation?

Would it increase or decrease individual productivity?

Would it increase or decrease capital formation?

Would it increase or decrease family company longevity?

Would it increase or decrease family farm heritage?

Would it increase or decrease employment?

Would it increase or decrease tax receipts?

Would it increase or decrease desire for US citizenship?

Etc.

IMO answer to all above is decrease.
