My complaint with inheritance is not that perpetuates income inequality (though it may do that). I don't care about income inequality in the abstract, it bothers me not a whit that multi-billionaires prosper while the poorest in the US live merely pretty OK lives.

I simply hate the unfairness of this particular form of wealth transfer: the winners hit the jackpot without even buying a ticket.
