Hm. A 100% inheritance tax seems like a fair compromise. We are all created equal, are we not?

Oh dear god, I'm arguing with Scarred Child and Mick on this one, but here goes anyway.
As much as I like the idea, my conservative friend has convinced me that a 100% inheritance tax is impossible. Let's say you implement it. What will every rich parent do? Give all their money to their children (at the less than 100% gift tax rate).
Basically you can't have 100% inheritance tax, or any inheritance tax that's higher than the gift tax. And you can't have 100% gift tax (people like to be able to give each other, and their children, gifts).
But I do fully support making the two the exact same rate.

It's almost like some of us were deliberately adopting the very techniques long used against us ... but clearly not me, as I obviously failed by being neither brief nor substance-less with this post.
