Either the heirs get the inheritance -OR- the government TAKES IT..
WHY? does the government deserve it?..
Why does the gov't deserve ANY OF IT at all?..

Either the heirs get the inheritance -OR- the government TAKES IT..

The heirs likely had a lot more to do with growing the inheritance than the government ever did. Fact is, the government took their pound of flesh every year. Why do they need more?

And, then, there are the wishes of the person who created the estate. He had a choice of giving it to his heirs or the government. He chose his heirs. Why are his wishes not respected?
