It holds true for the owner he inherited it from. So he should enjoy his success, but that doesn't mean he deserves a dynasty while others who have contributed as much to the economy and fabric of the nation get only tears. 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. You seem to always avoid the argument only to substitute a much weaker one of your own. This is known as "strawman" reasoning. The valid comparison is between a recently deceased with a functioning business and an equally hard working and successful recent corpse who worked within the corporate world. Both had equal contribution and sucess while alive, but one gets a much better deal upon their death. TP
