Comment on Ask HN: Do you think inheritance should be illegal?parent

Comments

Once again, what part of it is unfair? Is it unfair to the children receiving it, or do YOU just think it's unfair that some kids are getting a bunch of cash from their rich parents??

If you have no say in what an individual does with his wealth while he is alive, why do you think you are entitled (through voting presumably) to have a say in where that money goes when he dies?

Also, it seems like you even want to go so far as to regulate what a parent does with his money when he is alive?? How about this: What if a parent decides to give every single dime of his wealth to a second rich person to further that person's business? Do you think the government should step in and say no, even if it's classed as an investment?

All you seem to be saying is that it's unfair because you don't have rich parents leaving you a bunch of cash. Am I right?
