I personally cringe when I hear a friend js having a kid. All I can think of is how bad theyre going to have it. Hell id definitely have been better off being born 20 years earlier, but these new kids are REALLY screwed unless they have super rich parents.

"Nothing new under the sun" I suppose!

I like to think my family has always paid it forward and I would raise my kids to be the same

That was a really fucked up comment honestly lol

It is a zero sum game under the current rules... that commenter is just stating mathematical reality of how the money is distributed within American society.

I'm glad to hear that, but that's not fool-proof. The Kennedy family was raised to offer strong support to their community and nation, but they still spawned RFK, Jr., who is even despised by his own family.
