Defunct Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 there will never be equal opportunities, the rich will always be there because some people are more intelligent than others or more business minded. They are always going to want to ensure their children get the best possible start (and why shouldn't they). We have a system where the poorest children can go to university but they may well have to work harder to get there as they are less likely to get tutors etc. Life ain't fair, get over it and make the best of what you have! I agree that heredity peers are mental though! Very often the rich are not more intelligent than others. Many of them simply inherited their wealth and are simply upper class buffoons who live off other people . They are scroungers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defunct Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 All they do is clock-in,get the attendance payment,and fall to sleep. Out to pasture,the lot of them. And guess who pays for the privileged buffoons? If they were at the other end of the financial spectrum claiming the free money they would be called all sorts of names by the very people who support hereditary peers.

If they have their own wealth, they are not living off other people; they're living off their own wealth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defunct Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 If they have their own wealth, they are not living off other people; they're living off their own wealth. No they are not. Working people are providing for all their needs from cleaning their windows to performing surgical operations. They are taking everything out and putting nothing in. They are the worst type of scrounger. They are useless and surplus to the requirements of any decent country. Take the wealth off them as it is not morally theirs. They did not earn it.

At no charge? Why would they be daft enough to do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defunct Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 At no charge? Why would they be daft enough to do that? Of course they charge. It is paid for by the free money that they obtained , just as other unemployed people pay with the free money. They are the same as other unemployed people. They live off the free money.

Or are you arguing that inheritance tax should be exercised at 100% of everything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should simply seize their assets for the common good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llamatron Posted July 10, 2012 Author Share Posted July 10, 2012 Ah .. but are they? People who don't have to strive for re-election and are therefore not beholden to any party .... who cannot be removed from office and are therefore immune to threats ... and who have an entire lifetime to prepare for the role because the position is guaranteed for them from birth. There are a lot of flaws with an aristocratic system, but it does actually have a kernel of usefulness behind it - the same kernel which makes a King far, far preferable to an elected President. Nobody can browbeat, or bribe, the King into doing what they want. good point actually, I do like that the queen/king inherits the position hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are scroungers. never intimated the rich were more intelligent, I said that people often become rich because they are more intelligent or business minded. They will then be able to afford tuition for their children and to send them to the school of their choice. Their children will therefore benefit from their parents wealth but they will still have to work hard to get their grades but poorer children without tuition may have to work harder to achieve the same. You don't know they are scroungers you just sound jealous! A lot of the people who have inherited a huge manor have to work really hard to keep it.
