Tell me, if you started a business manufacturing widgets, do you think it unreasonable that you should be allowed to pass on your widget-making business to your descendents as a part of your estate? Would you say that 70 years after your death all rights to that business should be forcibly taken away from your descendents, and that they should no longer be able to gain any profit from it?
|
Um... I don't think very much should be passed on to my descendents at all, unless they're minors at the time I die and incapable of supporting themselves. Items with sentimental value, ok, but not gobs of money or property or whatever. I realize that I'm very much in the minority on that one, though.

Should we ban the stock market on the grounds that it allows people to profit without doing any work?

Well... since you asked... yes. But again, I don't expect most people to agree with me on this.
