Idk why you think your kids should get your money when you die. If they didn’t earn it then they should get a small amount and have to work for the rest, just like everyone else.
- whtsthmttrmn 2y agoBecause families passing down assets is a tale as old as time?
- amrocha 2y agoI guess we should go back to feudalism then?
- whtsthmttrmn 2y agoBe careful making such massive leaps, you might injure yourself.
- amrocha 2y agoYou're the one that thinks "it's as old as time" is a good enough reason to keep doing it
- whtsthmttrmn 2y ago1) Sorry I didn't list other reasons in order for you to understand that there is more than one reason it's done. 2) You bringing up feudalism is still completely random lol. I get you're trying to make the point "just because something was done in the past doesn't make it a good idea", but the contrary is also true - just because something was done in the past doesn't make it a bad idea. Using your logic, I suppose we should stop cooking food since it was done in the past and everything done in the past is akin to feudalism lol

- hombre_fatal 2y agoBecause I earned it and that's how I want to spend it. Did a charity work for my money? No. They just supposedly will (but possibly not) use some of it for something aligned with my interests. Just like giving my money to my children.
- amrocha 2y agoYou earned it, you spend it. Not your children. They’re gonna have to work too!
- applied_heat 2y agoAfter a certain stage, parents are working knowing that the value they are generating will be passed down to their children, it is no longer for them in their lifetimes, but their employer and society still benefit. If parent’s work beyond what they can spend in their lifetime is not given to the children, who would continue to choose to work? Already in Canada you can exceed 50% tax rate and many adults who could see more patients, write more books, take more cases, do more work, choose not to as the marginal benefit decreases.
- amrocha 2y agoOk, but then you end up with children who don’t need to work for as long because they have a head start. And so on until you have oligarchs who are born eating caviar and will never have to work.
