Abolish INHERITANCE....!!!

[RyanH]

Inheritance is not a constitutional right, it's only a right granted by individual states......Further, inheritance is expensive since its taxed, and by giving the very wealthy the right to inherit the nation's wealth becomes controlled by the many of the same families, generation after generation.

A truly capitalistic society should work for what it gets. Do third generation Rockefellers or third generation Kennedy's really work for what they've obtained? We know the answer. The great Tocqueville warned against dynastic wealth.

We should finally hear the call.......Allow proportional inheritance for minors and deserving spouses, but after a certain amount, the money should pour back into the hands of our great nation.

Sustaining true capitalism requires sustaining a work ethic. Much of the nation's wealthy have yet to recognize that ethic. Abolish inheritance!!!!

Ryan.

I've already told my parents to leave me nothing.......If they do, I plan on dislaiming the gift, which by law I can do.

I'll take heirlooms, family shit, but I won't take their money....It would be put to better use by establishing a scholarship trust for poor kids..........

Uh-huh. Nice of them to pay for college though.

I just love being BENEVOLENT......

Good idea, we need the government to tell us that we are not allowed to leave our prized possesions to whom we choose. Typical democrat, maybe we should all leave our wealth to some minority group to send blacks to college or buy mexicans their hairnets.

Uh-huh. Nice of them to pay for college though.

that's totally different.....

P.S. DAMN it feels good to have a night off from studying.

That's all in good, but HOW would you get a bill like that passed? We all know that money influences politicians and there is no way that they would vote for something like that in behest of their wealthy 'constituents'
BTW..you should then also abolish all types of trusts, where money can be passed tax-free to beneficiaries, and have to change corporate law also. Even if you have no inheritance allowed, there will be ways around it
