95. Besides the point

yet he is wealthy. he got his wealth by inheriting it like other trust fund babies and ne'er-do-nothings born into rich families. that's also an example of hoarding wealth.


2/3rds of the millionaires in the US are self-made. Bush obviously is not, yet even in his case someone at some point had to create that wealth.

If you have problems with parents giving their wealth away to their idiot children, that's fine. I agree. So does Warren Buffet. He even makes his kids pay interest on money they borrow from him.

i stand by my statement regarding your limited knowledge of economics.

I accept that there is always more to learn.
