Well, as I mentioned above it's not simple. I believe in fairly weak rights to inheritance. Fair enough that parents would seek a modest degree of security and opportunity for their children. However, the current system where some people are born with more wealth than the general population can ever hope to attain, is plainly unjust. I don't believe your parents can 'earn' your money for you - ideally the children of the rich should have to prove their worth like everyone else, and be given the opportunity to fail. Of course the game will never be fair - but I'd prefer to push it in that direction.

I don't agree with violating property rights like that.
