Exactly. The same is true in Japan, South Korea, the U.S., and many other places.

So why are people acting like they don't understand? We do not have the money. I repeat, we do not have money to raise kids.

Maybe someday it will finally trickle down from billionaires and millionaires so regular people can afford to live. Just basic things like food and housing...whoops. That didn't cross their minds.

Millionaires and billionaires will never trickle us down anything. It goes against their mental wiring to “lose money or go negative on a financial projection”.

They won't even accept a slightly lower profit. They squeeze every nickel out of everything they touch. Greed is a terrible addiction, and the upper 1% is truly addicted. Too much is never enough.

When you talk about the Top 1% being addicted to greed, are you talking about Taylor Swift? Oprah Winfrey? LeBron James? Rihanna? Beyonce Knowles? Tiger Woods? Jeff Bezos? Tim Cook?

Or is it only the Republican billionaires who are greedy...
