A. When you die more of your money goes to the government.

B. More of that tax money goes to providing a free education.

And C. Private schools are abolished giving everyone a relatively equal chance in life. If rich people wish to improve their child's education they may donate to their local state school instead of squandering money into old, out of date institutions.

Is that not only fair but possible. People still earn money and can become rich but it is by their own individual merit and not by their birth.

Bullcrap. Let's say I work my butt of for 50 years throughout my life and build a very successful business so that I can pay for my children to go to a great school and that when I die my kids can enjoy what I have worked hard for and then they can work hard as well. What your saying is that most of my money will go to the government when I die and that my kids won't get to enjoy what I worked hard to get for them. Here's my life saying you work hard you play hard. Basically I work my butt of and I get to enjoy the rewards for it. The difference is that instead of going to a good school because you have money, you go to a good school because of your individual merit. You are not judged on your parents earnings but on your own. I do not believe in a full end to inheritance.( everyone wants to give their children a little nest egg) just a maximum inheritance of about a million pounds/dollars/euros. This would minimise the advantages of old money and the super rich while allowing most people to live normally.
