What is fair about losing the product of multiple generations of blood and sweat left to take care of future generations?

The fact is I will lose contralling interest in MY grandfather's business because I can't afford to pay the tax on what he has left me. I will have to liquidate property, in a down economy, to generate the cash and that will leave distant cousins in control. they didn't have to pay at 55% years ago when their shares transferred.

I expect that to all fall on deaf ears because the many that have nothing expect those that EARNED something to pay for the fact they don't, can't and wouldn't anyways.

My forfeited money will probably be spent paying prevailing wage to a bunch of over paid roadworkers that think they entitled to it.
