> I advocate a 100% inheritance tax

What sort of nonsense half-measure is this? I propose a 100% tax on parent-child resource transfers starting from the moment of birth!

Although, you might just cut out the middleman, seize the children, and raise them in a state-run "Nurturing Center."

I enjoy a gaming science fiction universe with such "Clanners".

Fun stories do not necessarily make for fun real life experiences I imagine.

I don't know a parent who hasn't fantasized about this. I hadn't considered the inheritance angle; my kid's young yet.

Don't worry, we will send them a bill.
