Hello russycarps,
Congratulations on your return and 20K post.
I agree with what you say. In my own case my family could have gone off shore etc to avoid tax, but never did so ie they paid all the taxes that were due and never used clever financial chicanery to avoid paying tax. Something I have found out in life is that not all rich people are c**ts. Some of them just work very very hard to gain their riches. Personally speaking I question whether my parents choice of their zeal for even more money was the best thing for the family as a whole. I (and 3 of my 4 brothers) were used as free labour by my parents for over 20 years. That's holding down a job and them doing all their work on top. My youth and beyond was spent working, working, working.
I recall that me and my brothers wanted the day off when Live Aid was on. When we broached the subject with my father were were told to 'Get in the f**king car, get over the the building site and do a days work'. There was plenty of that behavior.
Not every rich person was born with a silver spoon in their mouths.
