A massive part of people's motivation to work is to provide for their children. >That an increasing portion of wealth is inherited rather than build in an individual's working life-time is indicative that the system is function as intended.

No, it just signals that the tax system treats unearned income and wealth more favourably than earned income. Political choices.

How you feel about that depends upon how you feel about in increase in unearned income flowing to the wealthy I guess.
