Lol, such a strawman right there. You'll use anything to justify theft though so I'm really not surprised.
Try cracking a history book, the "death tax" is why you are not serving your feudal lords as a serf.
Going back to the good old days where your whole town is owned by one or two families is going to kick ass. (if you are part of those families)
You guys are probably right, might as well start kissing ass to those with money now, I mean, if you were worthy of getting anywhere in your life you would have been born rich! It is your destiny to be a lower class if not born with the correct genes.
Forget it, this is AMERICA, where we succeed by our merits and hard work, not our genes. It is not societies responsibility to support "old money" entitlements that drag at society.
Democracies fail all the time all across the world, and having a few massive land owning monied families corrupting things is the fast track to collapse. You guys arguing for this are being used by the elites once again in hopes you will get your chances to game the system for yourselves, typical conservative hypocrisy.
Stalin had a term of endearment for the reactionary segment of the working class who so willingly buy into propaganda against their own best interests: Useful idiots
