Ummmmm, is this heading towards "Obama hates rich people" and/or "the current administration (code for Obama) is turning us into a socialist state"? 'Cause
it sure seems to be leaning in that direction (by inference).


If it does go that way, it's you who brought up Obama and current administration, not anybody else, so remember that.

My question actually spawned from the Good vs Evil thread, and other threads I've seen about really having it in for people who have managed to build considerable wealth.

The kids will get $500,000 each, which means they'll have to actually work to support themselves, and a guitar or two, if
they want them.

Does this include your "adopted" kids? LOL, you don't have to answer that question. BTW, got the banjo setup and having fun with it. Eventually I think I'm going to replace the head though; I'm still getting some weird overtones out of it; I thought adjusting the tension on the head might fix it, but it hasn't really. Fun little banjo though, now I just have to find a dixieland band to get into. There's one I know of, but they already have a banjoist.

As far as your father-in-law's kids, it's unfortunate they turned out that way. But it's really not so much different than what happens on a world level. I mean, even I'm rich compared to some people born in countries in asia or Africa, just through having been born in prosperous America. I think it has more to do with how you're raised than how much money you're born into. Sure, it might be easier not to raise kids properly if they can have whatever whenever, but being born into wealth doesn't have to automatically mean you grow up to be no good.
