It doesn't have to be completely Draconian, but there should be reasonable limits to the amount of money you can pass on.

You know it would.
Yes let's continue to be ruled by the desires of entitled rich kids.

That's too low imo. Especially if you have multiple children.

I have no children, but a sister whom, if I should go before her, is going to need every penny of that to be able to continue to live at home, or at least in a decent nursing home.

Why the hell can't you live without 200 grand you didn't do anything for? Money to pay for a sick loved one who can't take care of themselves is an entirely different matter than fully healthy people who do not need 200 grand.

wtf are you talking about? I'm saying that's what she'll get when I pop my clogs. And if you think it's too much, then up yours. She's going to need a whole lot more. I just hope she goes first.

Spread that wealth around if you please, see the prices of everything raise slightly and for it to mean essentially nothing. I'm sure big corporations will be happy when everyone rushes to buy that new expensive item they couldn't afford before.

Why do people still think that controlling the economy by force will help anybody but those who are already rich?
OMG please stop calling it theft. It's always theft with you. You were that kid who wouldn't share his Power Ranger toy during play time, weren't you? The entire reason you live in a society is to trade rights and money for security. You don't want to have your money stolen then go live in a cabin on a mountain, otherwise you owe the state/people for all those services you use. You want to drive a car? Then either pay for the road or build it yourself.

Oh for the love of Christ I'm saying that someone in that kind of need is a special exception.

Do you have a problem with wealthy people getting to choose who gets their wealth or a problem with wealthy people keeping their wealth within the family?

Pretty hypocritical to take the position of: wealth can be redistributed, but only to charity or some other arbitrary entity I deem a worthy recipient.

If people are too stupid to govern themselves, than surely they can not govern others.. which means both anarchy and structured societies will never work.. only one thing left to do:
