I have zero sympathy for the masses. They willingly vote to use government force to transfer money into their own pockets. So I just look out for myself. Extract all I can (legally) from the system that they created, while contributing as little as possible. Starve the beast.
It’s just a game, and we’re just players. I harbor no more anger nor resentment toward the illegal immigrant, nor the welfare mom voting for handouts than does a baseball pitcher when another player tries to steal a base, or the poker player when someone calls his bluff. Everyone’s just trying to exploit the rules of the game to their own advantage. Once you start looking it as a game rather than a moral issue, the anger subsides.
Is the next generation totally screwed? Absolutely. And I don’t care. They brought it on themselves, and more importantly, there’s nothing you nor I can do about it. So try to maximize and preserve wealth while you can, and let them suffer the consequences of their decisions. Just look out for yourself.
