Ted, the rest are variations of Paris Hilton. They are often corrupted parasites living off the hard work of past generations.

Would those "corrupted parasites" include senators Ted Kennedy and John Kerry?


Not so much Kerry but then he didn't have a lot of money..inherited or otherwise. A little bit with Ted Kennedy but its my understanding that the Kennedy men tend to be a bit randy when they are young. With earlier generations, they were forced to marry young and so fooled a lot behind their wives back. With John jr., he waited and did his foolin' before he married.

While there are some sycophants and dilettantes in the family, on the whole, they tend to be better than most wealthy who inherit their money, giving back to the community from whence they came. I still don't think that means they are entitled to keep all of the wealth they inherit for themselves.

If someone dies with $20 billion why should the family get all of it?. Why can't a portion of it go back to the gov't; a portion greater than what gets paid under current inheritance taxes? Why does anyone need $20 billion to survive?
