Your idea of capping someones ability to earn money based on their own sweat and hard work is so foreign to me I can't even begin to accept it. Where did you learn such a thing? If Bubba can become president of these great United States, then ANYONE's potential here is unlimited.

"The real problem comes when someone like Gates has a total idiot great grandchild who is still immensly rich and powerful through no effort of their own " Oh, so we should then spread the wealth to a bunch of people who have not earned it through any effort of their own???? You are an idiot.

>"The real problem comes when someone like Gates has a total idiot great grandchild who is still immensly rich and powerful through no effort of their own " If my recollection is correct, each of Gates' children will get $10 million, and the rest of his fortune will go into his charitable foundation. A massive amount of money has already gone into and been distributed from his foundation.
