That's not how traditional America has operated, which is raising and supporting a child mentally / socially / academically, so that child can go into the world and be successful through his/her own ways and actions. Not just give them a silver spoon to suck on.

What will be missed when the parent is only focused on amassing money to provide? Chances are, the kid will just blow the money irresponsibly, because they've missed the big picture.

People fight more over ideas than things. If you think that the things you possess are only physical, I don't know what to say. Is your freedom something you possess? Is it yours? Can it be taken away? Just one example.

Just look at the imbecile they put in the White House.
"The left" didn't put Biden in the White House. If you believe that you haven't been paying close enough attention.

That doesn't really happen as often as you think... 70% of wealthy families lose their fortune by the second generation, and by the third generation that percentage has jumped to 90%.

Technically we are renting unless you plan to fit that house into your afterlife journey.

“But it’s literally no different than now, we’re just using a different source of energy”

King Bidenomous: “um well.. “

“I think you were meaning to scare the oil barons. The coal tycoons etc. They’re over there”

King Bidenomous: “uh ok, thanks…”

*tycoons are having wine and bathing in money when suddenly something breaks through the wall*

King Bidenomous: “Bwahaha! I will sink your profits and replace your business model with an alternative form of energy production! You will be $1billion dollars poorer even though your already rich enough that you cannot spend all of it in one lifetime!”

Oil Tycoons: “oh no! How will I afford my 3rd summer home!?”
Wait until the grid goes down for too many electric cars plugging in.. black outs do happen. Depending on just electric is stupid. The Biden administration is taking away choices.

The greedy dead are going to be crying when they can't take all that stuff with them. No wait, they'll never even get to that point. Clueless to the very last moment and breath. Nice.

Yea, and our 300,000 year-old, working-just-fine DNA is currently being F'd with right now with these mandated mRNA injections!

Just part of the Reset Plan
