Your analogy is dependent on assuming that everyone who is wealthy has connections in government and can affect policy making, that assumption is completely untrue. Inter-generational wealth is not a problem, people work hard for the sole purpose of providing for their kids and family in this lifetime and for generations down the road. That's honestly the whole point, to ensure quality of life for your kids and grandkids and so on. Are you suggesting the gov't step in and tax inheritance more than they already do?
