The only reason why inheritance can not and should not be outlawed is that it's a fundamental part of property, and thereby self-ownership. The only person with the right to distribute your property is you.

Do you think that people who would want to outlaw inheritance want to do that because of being envious that others have good conditions?
I really don't get people who fight richness instead of poverty. Why drag everyone else down to your level instead of rising yourself up?
