(5,046 posts)When I was orphaned at 17, you would TAKE everything my mother and father worked for and even MY HOUSE, and property that I lived in, and when they died it passed to me???? Effectively leaving me homeless with nothing to my name?
How in the HELL is that fair????
If something god forbid happens to me and my wife, you would do the same to MY kids?!
What the hell dude!!
And for clarification, I came up in VERY modest household, all I got when my parents passed away WAS the property and belongings, and $2,500, and that was IT.
What you propose is NOT "the way to socialism" but a way to make people extremely angry, and resentful.
And in truth, at that time, I was under an amazing amount of stress, and almost completely alone, anyone coming to "take' what was rightfully mine, would have met a well aimed load of "00" buckshot from my fathers 12 gauge pump shotgun.
