Some ideas really are too stupid for words. And yet people on the left manage to compose whole articles about them.

most people agree that tax should facilitate transfer of wealth from those who have to those who need. Most people are morons, or evil. No other way around it. Most of today's poor in any developed country aren't really poor by any true standard. The poor have access to things today that many people who grew up in the 1950s didn't have, rich or poor.
Poor is a state of mind.
Speaking of have vs. need. Charlie Gard needed care months ago. Those who have the power prevented this need.
Do we really want to go there with a 100% inheritance tax? Sorry Mr. Jones, but the government is a bit short this month, and you're worth more to us dead, than alive.

Why not just be able to abort your parents? Then there’d be no waiting around for the big payoff.

I think it is a good idea. I plan to give them everything including my firearms, bullets first from my heirs.

This is why the Left wins - they never stop trying to pass this garbage and stuff it in the heads of their vic, er, students.

Because it doesn't belong to you !
Taxes have already been paid on this income, for the privilege of your gratuitous spending.
What are you going to do when you run out of other people's money ?
.. and you have to face the debit that you have run up ?
Welcome to Venezuela !

This was tried in the USSR immediately after the revolution. The results proved so unmanageable that even the Commies ordered inheritance rights reinstated.

Bill Whittle did a video a few years ago showing that the arithmetic didn’t work out; confiscating all wealth of the Forbes 400 richest people didn’t cover the federal deficit for even one year.
And the second-year haul from the new Fortune 400 richest people wouldn’t be nearly as big.

Why not fund the welfare state?
We need to discuss that before going further. There's a difference between a "safety net" and a "welfare state". Why does anyone want a "welfare state"? I have a good guess on the D's private answer (votes from dependents) but get them to discuss/debate this in public.
Funding for a "safety net" as well as obligations of those in it are much different than a "welfare state". We need to agree on which we are talking about and funding rather than let liberals use whichever phrase they prefer at a given time.
To: NRx
We need a special tax on journalists to help fix the damage they have done.
