>Your argument is that the sins of the father shall be visited on the son. > The property laws encourage passing property down the gene pool. So the benefits do pass down. So why not the sins? You can do simple math. If A and B are equally hardworking and have 100 units of assets, and A takes B's 70 unit assets in the year 1800 from B. Now A has 170 units and B has 30 units. Actually, just by compounding alone, the absolute differences in the assets between the inheritors of the assets of A and B will become extremely large after 200 years. And relative difference will be fairly substantial too. You don't even have to bring in any other factors such as genes. -Arun
