In a society where the economic rules are strongly tilted in favor of the haves at the expense of the have-nots, where tax laws give generous loopholes to the wealthiest among us, the occasion of passing on wealth to the next generation is an appropriate time to tax our accumulated fortunes. Most of the appreciated value of these assets has never been taxed.

Yes, I do I'm not saying it's nice.But it is a way to stop the cumulation of money in a smaller and smaller number of peoples hands.
It's all about compound interest of savings at it's most basic, the effect of compound interest on a population is limited by the fact that people have to spend money and that people die within about 80 years. An estate in itself doesn't have that problems (they probably have to spend a bit of money) cutting out 40% every 80 years is to stop it getting out of control.
