Immediately reminded me of an Ayn Rand quote:
"Only the man who does not need it, is fit to inherit wealth, the man who would make his fortune no matter where he started."
- acjohnson55 13y agoIf her point is that we should clamp down on intergenerational transfers of larges amounts of wealth, I agree! There's a first for everything, I suppose. Although, I could extend that argument. If these ubermen are so good so repeatably, they shouldn't worry so much about progressive taxation. After all, they can remake their fortunes even if you whittle them away, right?
