What I'm saying NedFlanders is that if you really want to sabotage your child's social life, there are easier ways of doing it. I would say you could get him a budget circumcision, but I hear they're mostly ripoffs. circ dick soleil fucked around with this message at 20:57 on Aug 26, 2015 |

If capitalism is all about rewarding the most competent people why is inheritance a thing? Once someone dies all his money should be erased. Not taken by the government or inherited by his family, just completely erased. Only when that happens I will take capitalism seriously.

Kanthulhu posted:If capitalism is all about rewarding the most competent people why is inheritance a thing? Capitalism is a way to keep those that are ahead as far ahead as possible using the legal system, which is nice because the legal system requires liquid capital and leisure to access, so icapitalism synergizes pretty well with rule of law societies to crush the gently caress out of those born without enough money to have a home and a rental/franchise.

If and when I decide to have children, I will be responsible for making enough money to support their needs, instead of pretending that hardship builds character and is actually better than being an adequate provider because I would rather whine about capitalism on the internet all day than work

While serving in the Army, I was in a regiment that had very well off aristocratic officers and enlisted men equally. There were many who enlisted as it was part of the requirements to be eligible for their inheritances. It is normally a ceremonial regiment, however when Iraq 1.0 kicked off and a handful went off to storm the desert, watching these pansy rich boys cower in fear was the highlight of my time being enlisted. That said, some of those aristocratic morons lived for that poo poo and would run around with swords and try to be Robert Duval.

OP, I'm trying to pin down why you think it's perfectly cool and good to get free money from your family, but terrible and wrong to get it from the government. Either way you're getting money you didn't earn by working, so why does the source matter so much? Welfare money is the minimum you need to stay alive (or it's supposed to be - in fact, welfare often supplements the income of low-wage workers), so how can you begrudge someone that bare minimum when you have more than enough to live in comfort? And if you say "the government money was stolen from my taxes," then I'm gonna tell you right now I think that's bullshit. If you refuse to give up a fraction of your income to ensure that people don't die in the gutter, then you should have it taken from you. That's not to say that you shouldn't have the right to amass staggering amounts of money - if you can, then good for you - but when the right to live and the right to property conflict, then gently caress you if you choose property.

Grandparents are billionaires who hate the parents and pretend my friend doesn't exist because it's embarrassing to them. 20 years later they have another son who is athletic and in perfect health he gets $25k a month as long as he gives none of it to any other family member from his grandparents and will inherent around a billion dollars. Luckily my friend is an attorney and practicing CPA so he's able to ignore his ugly family. "i was born in some no-name hick town, here's what i know about multi-millionaires"

If you cant see the difference between parents giving money they earned to their own kid for food and clothes, and the government giving working peoples' money to people who wont get a job, then I doubt I could explain it to you

Sorry I dont have any snarky webcomics to use in place of an actual opinion, but heres a kind of script I came up with for one: (scene: a CAPITALIST and a COMMUNIST are having brunch together) CAPITALIST: I'm a rapist and I have an IQ of 80 (takes upside down fedora off and puts it on again but backwards) COMMUNIST: Thats fine - thanks to the inherently unjust nature of the capitalist system we live in, that actually means you will enjoy a life of privilege far better than the hard-working, moral, and intelligent people who live on welfare!
