Sounds to me as if it is the children of the rich that are being 'punished', not the rich themselves. What reason is there to think that the children of the rich had the same ability to produce jobs and wealth as their parents? If we were really interested in producing more wealth in each generation, shouldn't the wealth of one generation go to the people in the next who are most likely to use it wisely?
