Inheritance
 
Considering that there is a limited amount of money in our economy, is it ethical for the funds of an entity to be passed on to their beneficiaries after their death, allowing massive amounts of money to be hoarded and, with a basic understanding of municipal bonds and other safe investments, essentially locked in the ownership of a family for perpetuity?

Should anyone ever have a claim to someone else's property and fortune? What should happen to people who depend on someone as their sole provider once that provider dies? Should there be a limit to how much money a family can hoard?

Voted for some limits.

You should be able to leave a property and some cash for your kids if you have it. Needs to be a limit though.

Not really opposed up to a certain point, but who is being served by trust fund kids?

I want to become filthy rich so my next couple of generations of family don't have to work. And if I fail in that goal, I hope my kids will use their inheritance to try and achieve the same goal.

No limits. Let people do what they want with their own stuff.

So you want your kids to be Donald Trump Jr.?

How is it your stuff when you're dead?

Theft is theft, doesn't matter who you're stealing from.

A corpse can't own things. A corpse is a corpse, not a who.

Assuming you've worked for it, it's your money to do with as you wish. What's the alternative? Let the State have it? As if. If I could be buried with all my money I would.

Seriously, I'm leaving all my money to Karen, and **** anyone else, ESPECIALLY the State. ****s.

Have you heard about that thing called "will and testament"?
