Poor rich kids

After I read the article, I feel like I am one of those poor rich kids. Sometimes people criticize about how rich kids have so much money but it is hard to stay on the same level as our parents and keep developing the level. It might be confused. We already started on a high level of life so we need to try harder to be better than our parents are. However, some of our parents are too good that some of the kids cannot “beat” them. Sometimes is about the limited abilities of kids, different lives kids want, or mostly kids now do not want to work hard.

I understand why rich kids do not want to work because their parents already tried hard to give them whatever they want; they already have everything, why should they try? For those poor kids, they do not have everything so they need to use their own abilities to get what they want. When those rich kids have dreams or goals for lives, they try hard to achieve but not all of them have dreams. That is one of the reason why rich kids do not have the same income as their parents.
Why are rich kids poor? In my opinion, they are born in wealthy families but at the same time, they need to trade with hard works. Parents want their kids to be better than them so they push their kids to work hard but most kids do not understand the reason so they just rebel. Because their parents are rich, they try hard to give the best everything for their kids. Go aboard to study is the most popular choice for parents. Parents think, other countries’ education styles might fit their children better but kids think that is the way they can get away from their parents’ control. Therefore, the only thing they know is to spend money and ask for more money so parents use their lives to earn money but kids waste their best times in lives to spend money and when they get old, they become the poor people. That is poor.

Parents hope on children are heavy but what education is, it’s to educate children how to learn, how to be better person, including how to become stronger person in lives so the incomes will get higher than their parents in their future. To be honest, it is not about money but about lives. Everything started about parents want their children to have better lives than them but kids do not understand or they understand but they are too lazy to do anything.
It is a vicious circle in my perspective. I did not understand my parents before. I did understand them but I hate to push myself to work. Now I understand that nothing will be free in the future except for parents’ money. The price for asking money from parents is to show them our work so they are paying for good deals.

Equality?

Nothing in the world is completely equal. We can only find a likely equal balance between equal and unequal because sometimes extreme joy begets sorrow. The government can only benefit the most not all in one time and in one way. Not everyone can be satisfied with the solution but at least most people are pleased. The reason I say this is because people can’t blame everything on the government. The inducements of economic inequality are plenty and mostly from consumers which are mostly everyone in this planet.

This world is developing fast. No one imaged this life ten years ago. Think about how many phones we’ve been changing these couple years. How many Iphones have been come out and how many people is crazy buying them. Our markets are becoming more like a fast food production. Fast make, fast purchase, fast buy, and fast new products. Ones the new Iphone comes out the next new one is waiting in line. After maybe a couple months, the newer one come out, people buy it again. Yes, the company can get money super fast but if the customers are not satisfy with the products anymore, the company will become poor in one night because they used plenty money to make the new ones but no one buy them and it still needs to feed its workers. If a company has no income money, everything about this company will be trash and the result usually shows in stocks. Image if the Apple Company’s stock fall all the way down in one night, how many people will lose large amount of money and how many homeless people will be created in one night.
If the government uses the national money to feed the homeless people for this type of reason. The hole of this economic inequality will become bigger. Why? Because these people will use the money from someone else who worked hard with no appreciation but with cursing the government and Apple Company instead. Why not think about getting money by work and don’t dream about become rich one night?

This brings us to another topic of this article which is people’s mind about this inequality. There are many reasons why poor people are poor. We only look at the bad side forget the better side. Some people are like what I said, invested in something but lost everything which means these people have no lower status than anyone else. Before we take a step to become some gracious people, we need to analyze the problem then start the journey and don’t step into the same bog. If the government gives some amount of money to those who fail once and let then rise again? Likely gives them an extra chance to make the hole smaller. They might fill the hole even make it a garden? Combat poison with poison.

In my opinion, I don’t consider the economic inequality as a giant problem. From the news it still seems fine. People and government need to work together. If people don’t have greater idea than the government, or Trump, listen to him. At least he is a business man. He can’t become this rich without a smart brain.
