The first question I have to ask myself about increasing taxes is,

can the government do a better job of distributing these resources than whoever is doing that Job now?

and what does better mean?

Living in the US with the government that is currently in place I feel confident that the government can't do a better job than the current system in place to handle inheritance, no matter what the definition of better is. So giving the government more money via inheritance tax is a bad idea.
