“There is no comparison between someone living off of welfare, which means money which he doesn’t own”
I’m not big into welfare either, but once a guy gets the check, it is legally his money, like it or not. I agree he didn’t do anything to earn it, but guess what, neither did the trustfund baby.
I believe that your camp subconsciously (or maybe even consciously) believes that there is no tangible benefit from the taxes you pay. That’s not even a matter of opinion, it’s just factually wrong. We all get military protection and infrastructure like roads. Everyone should have to pay for that benefit. Someone living off inheritance should not have government protection and benefits paid for by people with less money than him who actually have to work for a living. If you think that system is fair, then I don’t know what to say to you.
