Not _biologically_ necessary, but when have children _not_ inherited their parents' wealth except where the government has decreed such, _and_ uses force to ensure compliance? As I recall, the "Communist Manifesto" proposed (where revolution was not a viable option) 10 measures that once implemented, would lead to the creation of a communist state. #3 was the abolition of all rights to inheritance. When you die, everything you own reverts to the state (actually, the small group of elites in control of the state). Luckily, the US has only partially implemented this despotic inroad on private property rights, as well as 4 others. Unfortunately, it has completely implemented #2 (a heavy, graduated income tax), and #5, creation of a central banking system with sole control of the money supply. Larry
