No government panic over this. The government approves.

Why? Because middle class white people die with assets that the government can tax heavily.

...middle class white people die with assets that the government can tax heavily.

That's one of the white privileges.

Coming back to reality, in the United States, on planet Earth, the exemption from federal estate taxes is: $5,340,000 for estates of persons dying in 2014, $5,430,000 for estates of persons dying in 2015, and $5,450,000 (effectively $10.90 million per married couple) for estates of persons dying in 2016.

Now I don't know what "tax heavily" means to you, but to me an exemption of over $5 Million is not particularly heavy. Google is your friend...
