Inheriting her estate is nothing I will consider myself lucky to do, although it will make me a good deal wealthier…

I oppose the estate tax, but anyone who is inheriting that much money should consider themselves to be somewhat lucky. Nobody chooses their parents. He didn’t choose to be born into a family of corporate executives, it was luck. I didn’t choose to be born into a family where I was raised by a secretary and a tow truck driver, it was luck.

But it’s important to not that while I had a lower-middle class upbringing, I still consider myself very lucky. First of all to have a loving family, but also to be born here in America. Lower-middle class here is very well-off by global standards. For God’s sake, I could have been born in the fucking Congo.
