>>thats not really the point though is it. As you've said many times you've worked hard for what you have so its yours. Someone inheriting it hasn't worked for it so possibly their "right" to it isn't quite as clear cut.

>But the money Marcia earned is the "right" of your children, right? That is, she works hard all her life to leave wealth to her children; you spent all your time in a pub with no care for your children (not you personally; as a hyperbole). And, according to you, instead of leaving money to her children she should leave it to the government so that it would distribute it to your children or some other people's children.

That's not what Nick was saying. Marcia made the assertion that the people who have great wealth earned. He pointed that that was not necessarily true. Some people with great wealth inherited it. Some of those people also work hard and some of them are Paris Hilton.
