Well, here's the thing.
I actually think one of the big problems facing the country is that our entire tax code is now focused on wealth preservation, not wealth creation.
When you really rip, take Mitt Romney, and he writes this op-ed, Tax Me More.
But when you take each of the pieces and components that he talks about,
The whole, I don't mean to get technical, step up.
It's about preserving wealth.
It's not about creating wealth.
It's about passing out to another generation so you never pay taxes.
This is insane.
Now, he does it from a fiscal perspective.
I would take it from an investment perspective into future generations.
And based on my friendship with former Senator Romney, Mitt, I don't think he would disagree with a number of things.
There'd be more consensus on what the things you should invest in.
Put that aside.
There is, look, like is that when I said first person to say you need a party, 16 and younger, no more social media apps, protect the kids.
And I've never met a parent in all my walkings around the country.
My kid needs more time on the screen.
I've never met that parent.

They feel that these guys have taken their kids away from them and are raising them on an algorithm that's addictive.
