They didn't earn it, and it may adversely affect who they turn into as people.

Why not give it to literally anyone else? Why not give your money to me when you die? I'm sure your gut said, obviously not, why would I do that? That's how I feel about inherited wealth.

If receiving something you didn't "earn" will always have a negative effect on someone, then why would you give it to someone else?

After all, wouldn't receiving that help that they didn't earn just automatically turn them into a bad person?

I guess we should just burn any extra money we have! Can't be letting people having something for free that they didn't earn!

Are you serious? There are plenty of things people do for their kids they wouldn't do for a random stranger on HN.

Leaving an inheritance is one of those things...
