Inheritances

Lately I've been thinking about inheritances. An inheritance is defined, generally speaking, as something that passes from one generation to the next. It can be property, traits, birthrights.

When a parents dies, for instance, they will often leave to their heirs an inheritance of some financial significance. Typically a parent will bequest a portion of his or her estate to their heirs as a token of appreciation, love, or, in my case, disdain for a child, grandchild, or other loved one. For the beneficiary of an inheritance it is not enough to know that you were considered, but the beneficiary wishes to know that they were indeed considered worthy.

When I think of the inheritance that our elected officials are now considering for our beneficiaries (the future generations of Americans), I can't help but acknowledge the obvious fact that they (the Congress, Senate, and the President) believe some people worthy and others not. They consider worthy those individuals and groups who have failed in their lives. They consider the inability to attain self-reliance and responsibility to be worthy of emptying the wealth of a nation into the coffers of those who whine, complain, and blame others for their misfortune.

Progressives for decades have exploited the very groups they claim to defend. I have often asked why blacks, for instance, would continue to vote for the same politicians decade after decade when clearly it is the politician who benefits. Public housing is still substandard.
Our education system is still failing to prepare ALL people for a future of productivity. We have, by way of election, de-funded our inheritance and pillaged the coffers of the dead out of political correctness.
