there are such things as shades of gray, you know.

But hey, as I tell communists and american soccer fans, there's some merit in sticking to your team even if it's not as successful as you'd like.   ;)

Do you think Paris Hilton deserves all the money she gets?

And why wouldn't she? It's not like anybody's obliged to give her any.

Yes.

I should probably have my head checked, because I find myself in complete agreement with Nikov.

Yes.
Why? She's useless and got money only because she's born rich in the first place. She never worked in her life, yet she is rich, and in your country that mean that she have access to good health-care, and not you.
She's a byproduct of your society, just has you. Why is she so much more important.

Called socialism. Tax proportionally to the income to assure everyone's basic necessity.
Work well as most poeple want more then basic necessity.

Then if she's got no income, you shouldn't have anything against her spending her dad's money.

... she most likely got dividends from her dad's money, imposed here, and got a fortune , that is not axed here but is in france (and should be taxed I think).
Money call money, and overly big fortune are good for no one.

Deserve is a very tricky and vague word, and I try to avoid it. I would have to ask you to define it before I could answer confidently.

I really don't get people denying Miss Hilton her money. She spends it as much as she can, thus giving work for countless of people in the services sector.

The question is, why should she have all that money. Everybody spend money, and if you don't and put in into a bank, it's invested anyway (several times). The real question is : how the hell did they have the American lower class to support this system, even though it's obviously against theirs interests ( I'm speaking about the almost no tax policies, not the fact to allow this poor miss Hilton to keep her money. I'm well aware that there are several good reason to allow poeple to have and inherit money.) .

Because America is about improving the baseline.

Our baseline for non-luxury goods is very, very high.

Someone who has everything they need won't be unhappy, capiche?

I bring up "deserving" because Nikov is insisting how all social programs are wrong because the blue collar people don't deserve any money from the rich, and should just roll over and die when they get sick/lose their job/can't afford to send kids to college. Yet the wealth of all those rich has been made over the backs of those same blue collar people.

And LAWL @ money buying happiness.
