The Dad Presents

What people don’t understand about trillionaires is that there is only so much money. Every dollar sitting in a dragon pile is a mask not bought, an oat not subsidized, a child still chewing meat paste under fluorescent lights. They told us the economy isn’t zero-sum. Correct. It’s worse.

Communism does not kick down the door wearing a Soviet uniform. It knocks politely and says, “Hi, I’m democratic socialism, and I’m here to make life affordable.” Now look at the trend. Mamdani in NYC. Katie Wilson in Seattle. And L.A. may be next with Nithya Raman trying to take the city even further left. Then come the rent freezes, price controls, wage mandates, wealth taxes, government-run markets, and endless promises that the same people who broke the city can centrally plan it back to health. It is always sold as compassion. But it runs on coercion. People need incentive. Builders need reward. Risk-takers need upside. Workers need a path upward. Society flourishes when people are free to create, own, compete, fail, and succeed. Communism is an evil lie because it pretends human nature can be repealed by committee. Resist it while it still smiles.

What people don’t understand about trillionaires is that there is only so much money. This is adorable. even if Elon did stuff dollars under a mattress (he didn’t), that would remove money from circulation, making the remaining dollars more valuable. That means prices go down, not up. So no, Elon’s net worth is not why little Timmy is chewing government meat paste under fluorescent lights. That’s probably because the government spent $4 billion studying why children prefer fluorescent meat paste when served with subsidized oat foam. They told us the economy isn’t zero-sum. Correct. Which is why this argument is so stupid.
