But hardly anyone will care unless you got the piece of paper.

Why do you think you or anyone else has a right to what other people earned? This attitude is abhorrent!

Refusing to use welfare as a way of life would be a step in the right direction.

I didn’t suggest keeping it. Bury them with their wealth. Turn their properties into mausoleums. I’d settle for any disposition that doesn’t involve handing wealth to children who didn’t earn it.

Who the heck do you think you are? This attitude of yours is gross! People have a right to provide for their family after they are gone!



I'm assuming you have a will leaving everything to the government when you're gone....correct?

No, people who are dead don’t have any rights. I’m sorry to have offended you. But there are a lot of people who couldn’t make it without inheriting wealth, so you’re in good company.

I won’t have any assets when I’m gone. It will all go to long-term nursing home care.

Actually they DO have rights after they're dead....that's what a WILL is!


You have no right to decide what happens to what they've earned.

You don’t say! A will? A legal instrument for transferring wealth from a corpse to people who didn’t earn it? I think you’re on to something!

Correct. Which is why you and underachievers everywhere just might stand a fighting chance.
