Inheritance tax costs more to administer than it brings in. If someone has worked for something and has already been taxed multiple times, it belongs to their family. For many, this is the motivation to provide a better life for their children, and they therefore make sacrifices. With companies, it's even more extreme. If there were a 100% inheritance tax, many companies would no longer exist. Socialism only makes everyone poorer. The result would be the flight to cheaper countries. Germany would lose again. We already have too high a tax burden.
