jamie_ | 9 years ago | on: Poor kids who do things right don't do better than rich kids who do things wrong
To people who agree with this post, I have a genuine question: Is it a general principle of yours that the parents' efforts and accomplishments should not carry on to the child or there should be a limit to the benefit? Aren't you ignoring that, excluding historic inequities, rich people's parents didn't grow money on a tree? If Rob Rich's and Pete Pauper's grandparents had the same opportunities, but Rich's used their resources more wisely, made better decisions and fewer mistakes, shouldn't Rich benefit from that? Or is it that you think most old money is tainted? If so, do you have a # of generations in mind beyond which the money should become common good instead of go to heirs?

[Off topic] I am surprised that the DA reopened the case, particularly with an actual jury verdict under their belt. What incentive do you think the DA had to reopen the case? Were they just afraid to lose on appeal? Speaking of appeal, how far up in the court system did the appeal go? And was the original prosecutor still at the DA's office?
