This is WAY more than taking care of your children and orders of magnitude more than those that framed the original laws intended.

If a man built a house and sold if for a $10 million dollar profit or just made $10million in his lifetime, Should that money go to his chindren and their children and their children and perhaps another 3 generations all earning interest from something that their great great great grandfather did 125 years earlier?
