What right do the kids have to the money? They didn't work for it. They don't have some inherent need for it that exceeds anyone else's. What's the moral basis? They got a better slot in the genetic lottery?

What's the moral basis? Are you - as a parent - honestly suggesting that the federal government should get their mitts on your hard earned cash before your own heirs?
Isn't the concept of the "American Dream" based on the premises that one will work hard his children won't have to?
