| What if, when Bill gates dies, all his wealth is distributed to the tax paying populous instead of idling in his kid's bank accounts? | |

| yes, this would help out towards a socialist end, because it takes one of the ways that the bourgeoisie retains power....at least, as far as i can tell lol
actually, gates is donating his wealth, his kids get next to nothing ^_^ | |

| Hm... I voted a bad idea, but now that I think about it.... Of course, it still should be up to the owner of the funds as to what happens to it. Meh. | |

| That's true, I was just assuming that this meant in the short term, since the first two options called it a 'step towards socialism'. | |

| i actully agree with you to a certain extent. amerikkka has long since passed hope for reform... revolution is likely the only option. but even so i would support the abolishon inherited wealth because it would cripple the minority upper class | |

well, actually, it just makes the upper class less stable...but i see where you are coming from with this, like how people want capitalism with like free healthcare, not realizing that the only way such a system sustains itself is through the subjugation of other nations....but by further subjugation of these nations, they are driven toward revolution...eh....this is why i think communism is inevitable, lol, because no matter the path attempted by capitalists to make their proles happy under capitalism, it fucks with the proles of other cappies...its a doomed system | |

| Capitalism with free healthcare only works throuht he subjugation of other nations? France, Britan, and my lovely home country, the great white north, Canada.
Those are the only ones I can think of. | |

| hmm, canada is a trickier subject, of which i know next to nothing - but examine the EU, isn't it simply another plan to furth bind together the richer western nations in harmony so as to better turn against the rest of the world? similar to NAFTA? it is only because europe in general has accumulated so much capital that it is even feasible for them to spend money for free healthcare in even two of their nations....canada would be a similar story, methinks | |

| okay, then i'll try going for a logical argument...i think personally that eliminating inherited wealth will force money that would've been retained in rich families into the market, which i think helps out the poor, who aren't losing much by losing inheritance, as usually, they inherit debts, not wealth...is that debatable? | |

maybe but pepole are usally dumb and tend to spend the inheritance in consumer goods like cars and other expensive stuff so it's dosn't really matter but the state did sqat in helping that person aqiering his wealth( or debts) so there is no reson why it should go to the state but it would probably be better to make it an option to donate your money to something state owned... w8 that'S already posseble. | |

| -_- you can't count on people to do that, so, if possible, it would be better if the wealthy were forced to donate posthumously to various projects intended to help those stuck at the bottom of society... | |
