You want to ban parents from financially helping their children?
Never going to happen.
You can argue for caps and limits, but insisting that parents can’t transfer anything to their kids is nonsense.

Besides, the whole point is to maximize equality of opportunity.
Or, if equal opportunity means equal rights to manage one's property as one sees fit, why set arbitrary restriction on property in monetary or financial form?
> As soon as one decides what amount of wealth is too much to pass on, one has set an arbitrary limit---is passing $1000 to one's children too much? How is it principally different from $10,000, or from $10 million?
So set it at zero and be done, like what the person you were replying to was suggesting.
