Some are better than others, by birth. And I'm just kind of hard core in this area. I believe that with a few exceptions, a person's entire estate should escheat to the state when he dies. I don't believe in inherited political power, and I feel just as strongly about inherited economic power (in fact I think the two are practically the same thing anyway).

You can add citizenship to that list. Simply being born in a wealthy country given a person a massive head start in life.

i couldn't disagree more. might as well not have capitalism and just give all money to the state. spread the wealth and we can all live rich no matter our productivity. please start with hollywood first.

Ahahahaha this is probably the most hilariously unintentionally ironic thing I've ever read on this board.

It's useless trying to discuss anything with this guy.

I don't know. Polaris seems to be having a pretty good go at it. You're just wrong. What can I say?

Not that odd. Firstly it's mostly older people going to these kind of parades on average. Second, they probably have the least chance of surviving something like this because of their age and for the same reason they may have been the one's unable to be quick enough to escape the oncoming car.
