So if i build a house, or buy one even, I shouldn't be able to leave it to my kids? What a joke.
i think there needs to be a clear distinction between basic necessities like shelter, food, or clothing, and excessive wealths that has been accumulated by who knows what means all too often involving wage theft, forced or child labour, exploitation of labour as well as natural resources of vulnerable communities or downright slavery. why should someone, let’s say like the heir of billions of generational wealth have the right to the money they did not even earn themselves? especially given that money is a short-cut for gaining enormous power because you happened to be born into the right family, despite being never democratically elected to hold any power at all, despite probably being completely incompetent for the job..
It makes no sense… who should get my house when I pass on? The government? The community? I do not agree with that. I worked for my family not the neighbour next door. So silly.
