I have a friend who's dad just died and left the 4 kids an equal share of 2 million bucks plus a crappy house and some other trinkets.Hell,the guy was 82 years old and never bought anything so there wasn't much else besides the money.The house was very meager too.The guy never did anything with his kids or wife growing up like going anywhere or having hobbies with them.The guy was a total miser that deprived him and his family of any enjoyment throughout life.
So I started thinking what 2 million bucks is worth today and was it worth a lifetime of working 2 jobs,scrimping,doing without almost everything to make life better.Hell,2 mill isn't much money at all any more with the inflation rate and sinking dollar.
A coach at a university can get drunk and rape someone causing him to get fired and he gets a 2 million dollar pure cash buyout from the tax payer.An athlete that totally bombs out gets signing bonuses 4 times bigger than that and the tax payer bought the stadium he plays in.A minor movie star that shows up for a few days in a minor cameo appearance making a movie that totally bombs out gets paid more than that and states give movie companies money to shoot movies in their state.A woman can say that a guy where she worked said she had nice cans and she gets awarded 2 million bucks in a sexual harrassment suit.Someone says they fell on ice at a Wal Mart throwing their back out and they get 2 mill.If a single mom on welfare has an unhealthy kid that grew up addicted to drugs in the womb it costs 2 mill to the tax payer in medical costs to fix the kid up for a year ot two.
It's an absolute travesty to be a miser these days where you deny you and your family pleasure for 82 years just to save a measely 2 mill.
Well,it's a good thing he died now because a year or 2 from now when Obama is in office the kids would have had a good chunk of the inheritance confiscated.The guy was so tight with money that he probably forced himself to die now knowing that could happen.hehe!
