      If you want to be successful like Turnbull you just have to work hard. And inherit $2 million from your daddy.

      Minor addendum: this varies widely from country to country. Taxes are the great equalizer - more taxation makes society more fair and gives everyone an "equal" opportunity

      The money has already been taxed though. If someone earned that money for the purpose of supporting their family, then that's relatively fair.

      The point is that the less a country taxes (in general) the greater the inequity in wealth between poor people and rich people

      Taxes in general? Different taxes have different effects. Point is that an inherence tax taxes money that was already taxed in most countries. In some countries saving up for your children is taxed more if you come to die than if you bought a 200k sports car.

      This is true, but most taxation is aimed at wealth redistribution. A large portion of wealth is passed on through inheritance, and taxation redistributes that wealth in a more equitable way

          I thought the purpose of taxes were of civil nature. Besides that doesn't change the fact that that money has already been taxed and distributed before. But let's agree to disagree because I do understand and respect your point of view.
