BUT the owner of the company has taken HIS money, put in all sorts of EXTRA hours.... None of that holds true if the owner just inherited the company. It holds true for the owner he inherited it from. Why should his assets be taken by the government instead of disposed of as the original hard working owner wishes. Also if your concern is about how hard the inheriting person has worked, well someone might also inherit a lot of money from a non-business owner who worked hard and had a large salary that he saved or invested. Should those savings or investments not be inheritable? I don't support the heirs of some people inheriting all that success while the heirs of others get nothing. Or to put it another way you support either the government seizing the wealth of those who had success when they die, or the government subsidizing the heirs of people who have not had financial success, or both.
