you just described cindy.
I'm for big time exclusion such as $10 million or so per person, but for someone to inherit $100 million and all the political influence that comes with that, you have to do more than just be born in my eyes. Those types of estates create mini dynasties . We don't need kings and queens.
you just described cindy.
ok, so what's your point? also, I don't exactly know how her finances are set-up, so it's not that I'm in agreement with you.
the point is that her finances were set up at birth.
you are calling her a Queen.
but in this case it won't matter to you.
thats the point.
This thread is chock full of wisdom
You don't get to say someone else "doesn't know what the " they are talking about.
The fact that you thought the foundation only giving away 5% of its assets per year was greed, instead of what is about to be normally expected from a charitable trust, pretty much says that you are a know-nothing poser.
A trust is a corporation. It has a charitable purpose, but still must not spend more than it earns if it wants to survive in the long run, just like a for-profit corporation.
Watching you fling your own crap and jump up and down like a monkey is fun, but don't try to pretend you know more than you do, it makes it more sad and less funny.
Stick to flinging poo, little monkey, and let the grown-ups talk.

you are not making a point, but it doesn't surprise me because you read what you want.
Just in case a bolt of lightening strikes you and you decide to actually read a post I'll explain it in simple terms.
I'm against dynastic wealth. dynastic wealth is someone outright inherits $100 million. However, some people inherit the responsiblities of managing that type of wealth for the benefit of others and charities. I don't know which category Cindy falls in, but if she falls in to the former I disagree with that.
Now tell me what do wives have to do with this campaign?
Rats. I posted that in something of a snit, and was going to go back and take some of the snarkiness out of it. Whottt is an ass, but I really didn't want to get down to his level.
That is a loss in my fight against my lower self. Dammit. Ah well, life goes on.
i think you failed to notice that you completely described cindy mccain.
one of the wives is a queen. you said so.
They don't spend their money altruistically RG. Haven't you heard?!?!?
