And as I said, this would allow for lower taxes for those who are alive, thus actually lowering how much money you are taking from people.

Sounds like the kind of thing where the government could decide to keep the inheritance money and keep raising taxes at the same time to make even more money!.
Kinda like my fuel prices argument! If fuel companies are getting more oil, why should they lower consumer prices when they can simply pocket the profit and spend it on things that aren't in the common citizen's interest?
