>>However I still think that it's outrageous that Woody Johnson, who wouldn't know a Band-Aid from a popsicle, inherited over $10 billion dollars simply because of his last name.

Perhaps it's also outrageous that Bill Fitzgerald was lucky enough to be born in the USA rather than in Haiti.

No. that's something to be grateful for, rather than an assumption of superiority stemming (as you note) from no personal prowess whatsoever. It's also true that with great wealth comes great responsibility, which sometimes is forgotten by those who are born into affluence.

BTW, I see the Donald doesn't intend to spend the new tax take on aircraft carriers, but on $1T infrastructure stimuli. I wonder how many jobs $1T can generate?
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
