if anything it seems to screw them up
That's why it's dangerous :)
Buffet has it right: leave them enough so that they can do anything, but not enough so that they can do nothing.
- strlen 18y agoIt's dangerous, but not to society as a whole. I.e. Paris Hilton has the money that she uses for hedonistic purposes, but she won't be put into a position of power.
- dhimes 18y agoI'm assuming that you mean national power. Plenty inherit the family business and/or money and wield local power. In formulating my reply, I think I came around to the other point of view. Bad things can happen, but inherited money is probably a minor enabler in this, and just the opposite can happen as well (inherited money can do much good).
- dougp 18y agoParis Hilton is a bad example she makes like 200 million a year. Perfume sales at Target, clothing lines, etc.
- blasdel 18y agoAnd she didn't inherit any money, just status.
