What happened to all the money he paid the original owners for the land? What do you think they did with the money? Did they hoard it all too, or did they go buy a house, or a new car or a boat or whatever. Spending money on most anything helps the economy by trickling down.

Sounds a little like socialism for "everyone should start off with the same advantages". If I work my ass off and can retire with a sizable life savings, and instill that hard work attitude into my children and their children, why can't they have a better life than I had? And at the current rate, if I had more than 5 Million when I die, why would that have to be taxed again?

Wish there was some competition where I live, it's Comcast or bust.
