I don't understand people who have problems with other people giving their money to those they love
Because inherited wealth creates idle aristocrats, who traditionally have contributed little to society, and pretty much all societal progress since the Middle Ages has been how to limit the power and wealth of aristocrats. You seem to be big on providing motivation for people to work. Well, not having an inheritance is an excellent one.
- gambiting 10y agoAnd yet, most jobless people everywhere are not jobless because they have inherited money. What should be the motivation for them to work?
- jhbadger 10y agoThey didn't inherit enough money to not work? In part because their inheritance was taxed by laws that the 1% is working to dismantle?
- gambiting 10y agoIf you inherit less than hundreds of thousands of dollars the inheritance is not taxed at all in almost every country of the world so that's an unlikely excuse. >>They didn't inherit enough money to not work? And yet.....they still don't work?
