This guy is nuts, the sad thing is no other lefttie EVER comes out and says so about there extremists , even though you and I both know that most leties don't agree with Karl here that anyone should be saying "you're worthless so you don't deserve your money." It makes their whole agenda look ridiculous. Just once i'd like to see a reasonable left wing person come in and say "shut the fuck up" to these morons.
Wait, first you were defending rich people because the accomplish so much. I pointed one out that is pretty much useless - there are a lot more like her. Then you defend her for being useless because she's rich? Do you think she REALLY deserves her (grandfather's) money? No one is suggesting it be taken away, but it's not like she (or her father) worked for it. What you are saying, then is that the rich can do no wrong and deserve to control 90% of this country's wealth... just because they're already rich? Hmmm.
there are people suggesting it be taken away.
if we are simply animals whose main goal is to procreate and pass our genes down to the next generation, being wealthy puts you in a bit of a pickle.
on the one hand, being able to supply many many generations with financial security goes a long way in enabling your genes can be passed on. in theory, the less you have to work the more you can focus your time on raising a family.
however, the more wealth you pass on to your heirs, the more likely they are to become utter douche bags with a lazy work ethic that will just pass on shitty genes to your descendants. i have to imagine the original hilton would throw up if he knew how much of his money went to paris' party habits.
see, the rich have it tough too.
