re: #802 Obdicut

If their only eventual succeess is inheriting those millions, then they don’t deserve respect for it. If they inherit those millions and then use it to make more money, as I said, it depends on how they’re making their money. The mere accumulation of wealth isn’t respectable.

What is there to respect about someone who just inherited their money but acts like they earned it, sorry?

I think you’re reading it with a jaundiced eye, either on purpose or by accident.

You really appear to be claiming that coming from a wealthy background gives you no advantages in life. You don’t honestly think that, do you?

I’m not talking about people who inherent millions and sit around and do nothing. I knew a guy in Ct who had millions of dollars after his parents died and he spent every day at the bar, open to close, drinking heavily, eating, and reading the 3 or 4 newspapers he brought in.

I’m talking about kids who go to college and make a success of themselves after they graduate or kids who start their own business. Most of those types of kids I met don’t have access to their parent’s bank accounts. The parents let them make it on their own.
