if investment income outpaces earned income you are on the road to trouble.

Some of us don't have earned income. I guess you're not retired and living off your investments...

Sheesh!

Or do you mean the person who receives the inheritance gets more income from the estate than from earnings? In which case you couldn't confiscate the difference at time the estate was settled because you wouldn't know what the future earnings of the beneficiaries might be. Or what the future earnings on the assets might be. I don't think there's any way of making that work.
