I disagree.
I'm in favor of a wealth tax, but a strong proponent of any inheritance tax (and income).
A wealth tax is more fair. Avoiding it is way harder than for inheritance taxes and it's a constant spend for any estate (avoiding issues around a one time big taxable event, easing planning).
If we as society want(need!) to redistribute wealth we should not wait for people to die!
