And yet, most jobless people everywhere are not jobless because they have inherited money. What should be the motivation for them to work?

They didn't inherit enough money to not work? In part because their inheritance was taxed by laws that the 1% is working to dismantle?

If you inherit less than hundreds of thousands of dollars the inheritance is not taxed at all in almost every country of the world so that's an unlikely excuse.
>>They didn't inherit enough money to not work?
And yet.....they still don't work?
Because inherited wealth creates idle aristocrats, who traditionally have contributed little to society, and pretty much all societal progress since the Middle Ages has been how to limit the power and wealth of aristocrats. You seem to be big on providing motivation for people to work. Well, not having an inheritance is an excellent one.
