Abolish INHERITANCE....!!!

[gymtime]

that's totally different.....

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

Sorry I'm late. But how is this different? You're happy to let your parents pay for your college. And, since you're becoming an attorney, it's reasonably likely that you'll be quite well off long before your parents pass. How very altruistic of you Ryan.

I suspect Barrister H is playing provocateur. My memory is that he said he was the beneficiary of a trust fund that has gotten him through school A trust fund is certainly an inheritance.

For the record, I did refuse my inheritance. It was not worth the legacy that came with it. I sometimes regret this. In fact I don't recommend it.

well let me speak on behalf of anyone who is currently working in A family business and say a big FUCK YOU!!

I have worked for almost 10 years in the same biz from the bottom(started at min wage) and to the position I am in now.

I have gone thru poverty, hunger, debt you name and never asked for anything(I live and run a territory 5 hours from my fam biz head office). Lemme tell you something and my old man knows this too. I could have gone and worked for other places and made more for doing A 10TH of the work ok. And while he was buying huge houses, cars etc I was working pay to pay and trying to put food on my table, plus I BUY shares every year.

Now my stake in the family biz is presently 2 million on paper and dont get me wrong I love what I do for a living. But to think of things I have given up, the shit I have put up with being the boss's son( and in a real company you work for family wise trust me the boss's son gets it worst by the employees and the boss because the employees think you are getting a free ride while boss man gets you for every little screw up that happens) that I think inheritance should be abolished? are you fucking insane?
I like you Ryan I think you instill good debates here and will continue to think that but frankly if you did not have Daddy's money to put you thru school and you did not have what you want now you would not be thinking like this trust me.

I could have had all you had but my dad gave us nothing and made us work for it in poverty literally

Fuck my dad just installed an $18000 stove in his kitchen and I siliently grumbled and did not ask for fuck all nor do I expect it

I will take what he has givcen us and make it bigger in the future and employ many more people who need jobs too at that so think about that part please.

do you know what alot of those people do with that money? they invest it or give it to charity. both of which greatly help the economy & alleviate suffering.

if you give it to the gov, they will fuck it up just as badly. but we will lose some rights in the process.

so it comes down to.


let your money (semi efficently) help people directly & indirectly

or

let your money (semi efficently) help people directly & indirectly AND lose your constitutional rights at the same time.

i chose the former.

Too illogical to even touch, but I'll say some words for the hell of it.

Suppose I live to be 100.

Suppose in the 80 years from now till then, I accumulate $100,000,000 worth of assets - cash, property, stocks, bonds, cds, blahblahblablah.

I want to leave it to my children.

You taxed me on it the first time I earned it. Fuck you if you think you'll do it again.

That is all.

They should work hard. Inheritance can be a head start. Or it can be the ticket to a free ride. That's called freedom.

Speaking of free rides, isn't giving a large inheritance to the government in order for it to pass it on to the poor giving the poor a free ride? Shouldn't the "giver" of such a large inheritance decide who gets the free ride?

Oh wait... we're speaking democratically here - not logically. Duh

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.

NO, THE THIRD GENERATION KENNEDY'S AND ROCKERELLER'S DIDNT WORK FOR WHAT THEY HAVE.


I KNOW IF I WORK FOR SOMETHING ALL MY LIFE AND THE TIME COMES WHEN I DIE, I WANT MY FAMILY TO HAVE IT. WHY SHOULD SOMEONES PRIVATE ASSETS (BE IT CASH OR WHATEVER) BE TAKEN AWAY UPON DEATH??? IT SHOULDNT.


RYANH...........THIS IS REALLY AMONG THE TOP 5 OF YOUR WORTHLESS, DYSLEXIC VIEWED POSTS. RIGHT UP THERE WITH THE ONE WHERE WE SHOULD RAISE OUR TAXES TO GIVE TO THE AFGHANS!!! COME ON MAN, GET A GRIP!!!

I never said that it will happen, I'm just posing a hypothetical scenario that I deem desireable.

But maybe some bold state like Vermont or Massachusetts will stop forward and say..........."put that last will and testament down.....that money belongs to society after you're dead."

Fine, enjoy your money while your living, but after you're dead, that money should go back to where it came from-----society's hands.

Do you have any idea what would happen to the whole way of life. Most people would not save there money any more. People would die owing money instead of leaving money for someone they love. There really would be no need to "make your mark" in life if you could not leave your wealth to a loved one. (As big or little it may be) I see you said you would take family shit---well some people have very valuable family shit. Like businesses--diamonds-jewrls etc. All someone would have to do in your silly world is before they pass, purchase something of value and leave that to the loved ones.
Your just a silly rich kid with nothing more to do then to try to make yourself look like your so not one dimensional. Most people on here read right through you. Stop feeling guilty because you have some coin. No one cares and no one will hold it against you. peace

Ryan, every post you i read of yours makes me more and more angry. Why angry? Because i have proof of the incompetence among me. This one ranks high on the idiot meter though. This post makes me want to mangle you with a blunt object.
