    People who amass wealth have the right to direct how their money is distributed when they die. How would it be legally and ethically taken by the State?

    Liberty, Equality and fraternity was the motto of the French Revolution- a rather nasty and terrible part of human history.

    You advocate for theft.

    The irony here is Rand was on social welfare at the end of her life making her one of the grandest hypocrites of ideological nonsense.


    Whittaker Chambers 1957 Review of Ayn Rand

    "Out of a lifetime of reading, I can recall no other book in which a tone of overriding arrogance was so implacably sustained. Its shrillness is without reprieve. Its dogmatism is without appeal. In addition, the mind which finds this tone natural to it shares other characteristics of its type. 1) It consistently mistakes raw force for strength, and the rawer the force, the more reverent the posture of the mind before it. 2) It supposes itself to be the bringer of a final revelation. Therefore, resistance to the Message cannot be tolerated because disagreement can never be merely honest, prudent, or just humanly fallible." Whittaker Chambers

    If these issues are important to you then you organize your friends and you use your funds to do what you like. Leave the government and the taxpayers out of your schemes.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    My own Moderate Autism and Moderate Depression are important to me. By extrapolation I can see that 10 Million Americans with Severe Disability are failed by Society to a much greater degree.

    Your problems are not a claim against me.

    If your problems are important to you then start an organization, raise money and disburse your money as you see fit.

    Unfortunately, without extensive government help, people who can not support themselves are left without much help.

    Most Conservatives do not resort to personal attacks.

    Most people in need would rate the help they got as below unsatisfactory.
