@F_alk:
Well, but they have done no work at all for that. Why should someone earn something for nothing? That is very bad for econmy.
CC’s right, this is not your obligation to teach that person about “work ethic” by taking his father’s money. That’s absurd.
This really has little to do with economy, F_alk, and more to do with personal property. Okay, so if I want to give my teenage kid a car instead of making him take the bus to school, I shouldn’t be allowed to? What if someone thinks that my kid needs to learn the value of taking public-transportation? Should they be able to take that car from me simply because they don’t agree with what I’m giving to someone else?
it contradicts the very basics of that (which is “you only get something when you give something”)./
That money wasn’t pulled out of thin air. Somebody had to work for it, whether it be the father, great-grandfather, etc. it was earned at some point and time, which made it that person’s property, which allows them to give it to whoever they want.
