It's ok, just be honest about it. Don't act as if it's a virtue.

Yeah, when the old lady next door croaks, you can steal half of her stuff. It doesn't make you a good person.

Endorsing armed government thugs to take 50% of her estate doesn't fundamentally change the scenario. You're still an awful person. Inheritance tax is a horrible thing to wish upon your compatriots.

I bet you like the state using force to protect your stuff though, right? If someone scary sets up a tent on your front lawn because they have nowhere to live I bet you're all about using government services to enact violence.

Most high tax states and areas don't help individual landowners with problems like that, ironically enough.

Inheritance tax should be 100%; taxation isn’t theft, excess riches are.

State thugs are much less a threat than private ones. The difference between organized crime and large corporations is just branding.
