I tend to take an immovably dogmatic approach with friends/colleagues in discussions in which I advocate a 100% inheritance tax on property. It's not really conducive to reaching a consensus but does expose the pretty awful views of some of my wealthier friends.
The fact is that some people are incapable of appreciating that the reason daddy got rich is because other people are being made poor. To say one "earns" their fortune is an increasingly crass and inappropriate euphemism.
I guess it's easy for me to say, though, given that my parents have made it abundantly clear I'll be getting absolutely fuck all.
