We should see more people giving.

There's no reason why Nvidia, SpaceX, when they go public...

anthropic when they go public, open AI if and when they go public or if they stay as nonprofit.

There's no reason those folks in an IPO couldn't give a portion of the IPO to every American citizen.

So IPOK, IPO for kids, they all take

You know, whatever it is, 5%, 1%, whatever they choose, and they put it into the Invest America accounts.

And we should see some major giving from the people who are becoming trillionaires, 100 billionaires, whatever it happens to be.

There's no reason not to.

But those people haven't been doing that.

We had this giving pledge, which was a little bit of virtue signaling, and it wasn't real.

It was just, you know, at the end of your life, you promise to give away half your money.

So let's have something real.

Let's have something where, you know, people say, I'm going to give away 1% of my stock over the next 20 years of my life.

Every year, 1% will go into Invest America, whatever it is.

It won't cost anybody anything.

You can't spend this money, whether it's Bezos or whoever.

Second, in that same thing in terms of giving back, we have not talked about how massive this could be for health and extending people's life and reducing suffering.

We need to work on that.

That's where contributions to basic science could come in and obviously education and lowering the cost of education.

And if you look at what Americans on the bottom half, you were talking about the cup half empty, there's really two or three things they really feel anxiety about.
