Every parent who outsources moral instruction to the school system has handed their child's worldview to strangers with a curriculum.

The state taxes the work of the responsible to pay for the consequences of the irresponsible, then wonders why responsibility is in decline.
(Just kidding, nobody in the govt wonders that.)

The two most foundational rules of a free and fair society fit on one line.
Donโt hurt people. Donโt take their things.
Every toddler already knows both. They feel it the moment either one gets violated.
Give them the framework for what they already know.

The smartest people I know didn't get smart in school. They got smart by reading what interested them, working at things that mattered, and being willing to look like a fool while they figured it out.

That the worldโs first trillionaire is an immigrant to the United States who arrived with little, slept on floors, worked 100-hour weeks, & built companies now employing the population of Savannah, Georgia, will be entirely lost on the bitter arithmetic of envy and economic ignorance masquerading as egalitarianism.
Now, as always: markets and entrepreneurship for the win.

Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500.
If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.

Edmund Burke wrote that "society is a partnership not only between those who are living, but between those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are to be born."
This may sound like antiquated philosophy until you take it personally.
Behind you are people you mostly never knewโancestors who sacrificed, struggled, made choices in moments of consequence that compounded forward and produced, eventually, the conditions of your life.
Your existence is downstream of their decisions. Most of them you cannot thank. Many you cannot even name. They are gone.
Ahead of you are people who do not yet existโgrandchildren you will not meet, great-grandchildren you cannot even imagine, and remote descendants whose names you will never know but whose possibilities you are already shaping.
And in the middle, here, in this exact present moment: you.
The healthy response to the past is reverence. The healthy response to the future is responsibility.
Together they form what Emory researchers found is one of the strongest predictors of resilience in children: a clear sense of belonging to something larger than one generation. They called it the intergenerational self.
The pathological alternative is to live as if you are the end of the story. To consume what was built for you and leave nothing behind. To treat your life as a self-contained unit rather than a link in a chain.
Most people live like the end of the story. Builders live like the middle of one.
Question is, for us parents, how do we raise builders? (see below)

This is the entire topic of my forthcoming book: "The Wealth Trap: The Blueprint to Raise Builders, Not Beneficiaries."
How can we best ensureโparticularly in an abundant environmentโthat our kids will flourish instead of flounder? How do we avoid the stereotypes of self-destruction that kids from affluent families often live out?
Book's out in November. Drop your email here to get notified when pre-order is live. human-capital.kit.com/e53d52โฆ

No, Gavin doesnโt think that Elon has a trillion in cash that heโs hoarding like Scrooge McDuck.
His real purpose (same w/ Bernie, Warren, etc) is to foment class division and garner support from economically illiterate, envious voters who want those resources redistributed.

Americans are struggling to pay for groceries and gas while Elon Musk becomes a TRILLIONAIRE.
When the federal government is for sale, the rich get richer and everyone else gets shafted.
The system is rigged.

You don't owe your country your obedience. You owe it your honesty, your effort, and your willingness to say no when no is the right answer.

Mark Zuckerbergโs $300 MILLION yacht arrived in Seattle the same day Meta cut 1,400 jobsโpart of a larger round of 14,000 job cuts.
Nothing says our economy is broken like billionaires sailing around on yachts while workers are left out to dry.

This guy gets it
A $300M yacht isn't money set on fire. It's a vast act of production. Those vessels take 3 to 4 years to build and employ hundreds: naval architects, marine engineers, welders, electricians, carpenters, interior craftsmen, plus the shipyard and the entire supply chain feeding it. Then a permanent crew of dozens, dockworkers, mechanics, and provisioners for the life of the ship. The "obscene" yacht is a payroll for hundreds of skilled workers who chose that trade freely.
But notice the con you're really running. You don't want those workers employed. You want the Meta workers envious. The yacht and the layoffs have nothing to do with each other, except in the resentment you're trying to manufacture.
Now the layoffs themselves. A company cuts staff when it must reduce costs or correct over-hiring, which is exactly how a business stays alive to employ anyone at all. And what drives costs up? The taxes, mandates, and regulations you demand every single day. You spend your career making it more expensive to employ Americans, then feign shock when employing Americans gets more expensive.
You don't grasp that wealth is produced, not seized from a pile. So you treat one man's success as another's loss. It isn't. The yacht builder, the Meta engineer, and Zuckerberg can all prosper at once, in a system you'd dismantle for the pleasure of watching the rich brought low.
Envy is not an economic policy but it is apparently all @SenWarren and her socialist allies know.

Every successful govt program creates a class of people whose livelihood depends on the problem never being solved.
This is why the problem is never solved.
