What have you done to earn that money? Nowt.
So why should you be rewarded for something your parents did?

First: nobody deserves to inherit wealth, property or money – their inheriting these things makes their lives go better than those who were not so lucky in the lottery of birth.

Second: it is important to the lives of people in a free society – both parents and children – that parents be able to leave an inheritance to their children.

These two things need to be traded-off against each other. The state can correct for the first by taxing inheritance. This adjusts for the unfair reward of material distributions allocated by the lottery of birth, and can be used to compensate those who were unlucky enough to be born to parents who couldn’t or didn’t leave them an inheritance. This is fair because receiving inheritance and the accruing benefits is itself fundamentally unfair.

What has 'fairness' got to do with anything?
If I have the good fortune to be related to someone who wants to give me a valuable gift, why has some scabby prick down the road that the gift-giver has never met got a right to a cut of it?
