Having more money allows you to make mistakes. Having rich parents allow you to make mistakes that are normally unrecoverable for normal people (e.g. going to college and getting kicked out), because money buys you opportunities.

Inheritance is just like caste, you are born with an advantage over others.

That's why inheritance tax is important as a generational reset
