Default What if ... inheritances all went to the state?

All inheritances converted to money and given to the state (and therefore lower/no taxes). Think of it as a thought experiment, I have no idea if it would work.

Some results might be:

- other taxes would be lower or zero
- more importance on spiritual and emotional values, less on material values
- education would become more important
- chances of succes more equal between people
- less chance of power monopolies
- less spoilt brats
