Suprising reactions

[Kidder Bukowski]

You know those occasions when you expect everyone to agree with you but are amazed when they don't?

 

Last week in one of the roughest boozers in Liverpool I was involved in a conversation regarding inheritance tax and the Tory's idea to reduce it.

 

I espoused the idea of a system where all inheritance was automatically given to the state in order for the wealth to be spread evenly to each kid in the country at the age of 21 thus creating a more level playing field. (I know the cunts would get around it somehow but let's imagine eh?)

 

To my disbelief, fella's who've never worked a day in their fuckin lives said it was ridiculous as all the smackheads and immigrants kids would unfairly benefit.

 

How can we ever win?

 

Anyone else had shite like this?

 

 

 

 

 

[Rico1304]

They're right though.

Nah, when you work you work for your kids as much as anything else and to ensure they have a better life than you did, what's the point in me putting loads of graft in my kid has to start from scratch?

Because the kid of a smackhead or immigrant has no say on what his parents did. Should he then be punished for their lifestyle?

[JohnnyH]

Yep. You're a Kidder alright.

Your not punishing them though are you? You're just choosing not to give them all your money at the expense of your own kid.

[Captain Turdseye]

I agree with Hades, 100%.

Is the ultimate aim of our society not to become a true meritocracy? The need to pass on the pathetic wealth accumulated by the average person is just embarrassing and mirrors the greed of the truly wealthy.

 

If you want to pass something on to your kids make it your beliefs, values and a humanist attitude to life!

So I die at 44, my daughter can't have any money?

 

Good luck dismantling the insurance trade.

Repped for being too left wing for TLW.

Patience dear boy, patience.

Not yet anyway

I'm not advocating the abolition of insurance just the inheritance issue which will continue the inequality in this country. The working classes rail against the benefits the rich provide for themselves but as always shit out when it comes to themselves.

 

I'm pissed now after the game but for me it's a fucking given that every child should start life on a level playing field!

[Champ]

Bukowski was a jerk, Berryman was best.

But who are you?

Surely there's a happy medium where you put inheritance tax up, especially for the wealthy and use the money for the greater good.

 

I agree with the OP in principle but that sort of financial equalilty is very idealistic and could barely be further from how our system currently works.

Don't be stupid. You can like Berryman but to slag Bukowski is just silly. By the way, it was my kids who chose my user name as I was reading Bukowski at the time I registered and he is far from my favourite author.

Cheese on toast is boss.

[cloggypop]

Charles Bukowski is boss
