NEO-NIETZSCHEAN NOTES
In "Wealth", Andrew Carnegie (millionaire) wrote: "By taxing estates heavily at death the State marks its condemnation of the selfish millionaire's unworthy life. It is desirable that nations should go much further in this direction."
...and Chamfort wrote:The majority of 'benefactors' are like those inept generals who sack the city but not the citadel.(La plupart des bienfaiteurs ressemblent à ces généraux maladroits qui prennent la ville et qui laissent la citadelle.)
