The goal of the Death Taxes was to keep America's society somewhat egalitarian. However, the rich use tax shelters, high-powered accountants, offshore banking, trust funds and a number of tax-breaks to shelter their wealth so that they don't breakup family fortunes.

I can see both pros and cons to the Death Tax if it was enforced equally, which it is not.
