Inheritance

Oriphiel · 04-12-2018, 05:09 PM

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.

I mean your kid would be a loser either way, so why mentally hamstring them? You have a giant business. Make them work as a copy boy or whatever and then cut them off.

No I'm in the "who ****ing cares about giving rich kids a leg up the size of a skyscraper when 99.999% of the rest of the world are eating rocks and mud" camp. I'm just calling blank's unborn children losers.
