God, did you even pass the remedial reading test?
I didn't say they were entitled to their parents income.
I said they were entitled to the benefits of their parents income.
By that, I mean if a parent makes a certain amount of money, any offspring they produce are entitled to a certain standard of living based on that income.
Capiche?

Toxick is referring to everybody.
And I never said anything about
spoiling a child. Merely providing a standard of living.
For example: if I made a 7 figure salary, I will guarantee my kids and their mother wouldn't be living in a trailer and eating Beenie-Weenies for dinner. Alternately, if I made $8 an hour, I'd give
all that I could to make their lives more comfortable. Even if their mother made a 7 figure salary.
In a perfect world, you're right - the courts wouldn't have to get involved. But I don't live in a perfect world. I live in one that's infested with deadbeats, idiots, malcontents and other assorted riff-raff. And that's the one I try to deal with. I like to fantasize about living in Utopia once in a while, but when I'm interacting with this world, I don't apply the standards of a nonexistent dreamland.

Addendum: Why are poor parents the only ones you think "work"? Many comfortable to rich people work to. In fact, oftentimes, it is that very work that makes them rich, do you not agree?
