Inheriting houses, businesses, cars, etc, I can understand, but expecting to get money from someone and not pay taxes on it is unreasonable. An inheritance is just income without doing any work to earn it.
But the family has more right to it than any government. In this case Government is a group of people who claim that everything you do belongs to them.
