Sure Paris Hilton spends money, but if that money were distributed among the poor it would still be spent. And all wealthy people are just like Paris Hilton? I suppose your right, everyone who is wealthy has inherited their wealth, and than just been extravagant and silly with it. None of them worked hard, none of them applied intelligence to overcome difficulties, or came up with important or useful new ideas. No, I didn't say that. Some do work hard to get their money......and strangely enough, its those people who are less likely to pass it done to their offspring in its entirety. What I am suggesting is that we need to increase the inheritance tax rate in order to discourage the creation of dilettantes like they had in Europe before their assorted revolutions. I am not unreasonable; just fair. So silly of me for thinking that the desire to get or increase wealth might cause anyone to produce more wealth and make society better off. Oh please......this drama doesn't become you.
