Explain all these NEEDS to folks living on the streets and eating out of garbage cans...oh yeah, that's right...they're just lazy and deserve to suffer..right?? Just like those kids who starve to death in the Third World or die from diseases for which we have had cures for years! Yes, I guess you are right...my way of thinking is UnAmerican...afterall, like the lady in the song, you can buy the stairway to heaven! What right do I have to tell someone that they have enough money? What right does anyone have who sees injustice to speak?? I'm the bad guy? All I want is to end poverty and human suffering...excuse me if some folks have to slum it in a cheaper home or fly on a commercial airliner, or join one less country club! What arrogance!! You guys actually believe that some folks DESERVE unlimited wealth and power while others DESERVE pain and suffering?? Please, tell these people how they must suffer so that you can buy another Rolls! Oh, and the only thing wrong with communism is communists...human nature unfortunately trumps the best intentions.

For the record, I kind of agree. I don't believe in inheritance. People should make their lives for themselves, not count on the death of others to keep them going.
