Obviously it's not fair, but a lot of perfectly legal things aren't fair. Most people want to be able to leave their wealth to their family. They earned the money, they want to be able to use it as they please. Pretty much. I also have no issue with a fairly high estate tax --- Pitter-patter, let's get at 'er ... Copied to Clipboard!

So a whole lineage of people should just be rich forever because someone was successful decades ago? I'm thinking about this from a middle class perspective because thats where most people fit into, and that's where the burden will fall. The ultra rich are going to find ways around a tax, either find a loop hole or create one, move assets to a lenient country etc. --- Who looks outside, dreams; Who looks inside, awakens - Carl Jung ...

We are all born the same, but we are not all equal. Some are born to better circumstances, that's life, it's been that way since the first humans climbed down from the trees. Stop worrying about how much others have, and focus on increasing what you do.

Its the authors and the people who made the money to make sure their kids arent morons and spoiled brats. If I ever get one my kids are not getting the empire; theyre getting all the opportunities I never had and Ill do my best to make sure theyre driven enough to use them. But nah my money is going to something worthwhile if its a large amount, not to spoiled kids. Theyll be confortable and not have to worry but thats it.

We can focus on increasing our own standing of life, after we bolster safety nets by taxing the extremely ultra wealthy a bit more.

In any case, the general trend is for someone who inherits a large pile of wealth to tend to be very bad at handling money, thus that wealth redistributes itself in a bizarre variant of trickle-down that the reaganomists never expected.
The trust-fund kid buying a Lamborghini is money for the lambo workers, who then buy stuff from other companies whose employees buy stuff, and so on and so on, all the while creating revenue streams for various jurisdictions along the way. Were that inheritance just taken by a central government, it would almost certainly be corrupted away to someone's cousin's construction company, for some pork project nobody but that cousin actually wanted. pure_temper posted... that's right but technologically would be fairly accurate :)I'd still say that Idiocracy is by far the mostly likely dystopian fiction to actually happen. ...
