Not a view I share but I think the general attitude of this so-called "owner" class roughly this: The average American isn't deserving enough of America's bounty, so why should they be entitled to any of it? If you want something you should work for it; you aren't entitled to it by place of birth.
- rp1 5y agoWhy, in your opinion, do countries exist at all then?
- spamizbad 5y agoIt’s really not an argument against countries it’s more like an extreme form of “meritocracy” mixed in with various problematic views on resource allocation.
- vincnetas 5y agobut somehow you are entitled by inheritance. why should it be so? you should work for it.
- spamizbad 5y agoI think the argument here is that you're free to do what you want with your wealth, so if its "leave it all to my kids" then that's totally fine and fairness is irrelevant.
