I'm not suggesting taxing it AFTER it's been inherited.



Agreed. You can pass *some* money down, just not enough to enables dozens of future generations to live off off of trust funds, and exercise power and influence while completely disconnected from said socioety.

You should absolutely be able to help your kids through college, help them with a down payment on a home, etc. You could even have an adjustable scale... if your kid(s) are teenagers when you die, they get more than if they're in their 50's. Disabled kids can inherit more, etc, etc.
