Take for example Paris Hilton, do you think she's rich because what she has done or simply because she is who she is?

How did you arrive at that ridiculous conclusion?
Whatever I earn belongs to me. I am the only person who decides what happens to that income. Not the state and definitely not you.

Last year I paid $41,000 in property taxes alone.

Of course, but you don't need it or can use it when you're dead. Of course what you earn belongs to you, but it doesn't mean it should belong to your family. They should earn their own money. Right?

Nope, not if you want to give them yours.

True, but that ruins anthonyvop's principle that everyone should be on their own and make their own fortune, no excuses.

I think the answer someone was looking for as regards tax on bankers,IS that the government said it would outlaw bank bonuses,BUT they cannot,even though the government bailed out most banks in the UK.SO what they are now saying is that ANY bonuses paid will atract a 50% tax on it
I do believe that what money ,property,investment that are mine whilst I am alive,that I have earned,through my work,investments,or being a clever boxer,I can leave to any one I wish,be it family or freind.The government gets enough from death duties ,that I believe are unfair,and I do believe the threashold for death duties should be raised to above 1 million at least

How?

I said that everyone should be treated equally. get it?
That means no penalty for success. If I want to leave my income to my family it is my right just like you have the right to leave it to yours.

That is equality. Taking someones income to give it to another who didn't earn it isn't equality....it is theft.
