People don't have to work, they can do exactly the same thing you did, and then their children don't have to work just like yours. That seems perfectly fair to me - of course as I said, let's offer welfare to those who are unable to make these choices, but most people are able to.
Why are you so obsessed with 'luck'? I haven't even said that word once in this thread.
>Your parents didn't pay taxes?
Never said they didn't. Only that I won't pay taxes over the gains of most of my investments.
Not sure how inheritance tax works, but my hypothetical child wouldn't need to work either.
So what is up with this system where that can happen with a modest amount of money but people have to work?
>The reality is that a lot of people will have to work a lot harder to make life work-less for a much smaller group of people content with merely surviving
You sure about that? Because merely surviving is quite cheap nowadays and the vast majority of people aren't happy with merely surviving.
