    I got older and richer, and I’m still just as socialist as I was then. Perhaps moreso, even.

    I think the idea is that they have more wealth, and are terrified of losing that wealth. It comes down to greed and fear of change, rather than the actual amount of wealth itself.

        I mean… they were right… i am more conservative as i got older. I now put more money in my 401k. I save more. I eat at home more.

        However, i still think other races and sexual preferences are human, and billionaires dont need to exist. Social welfare is still a good thing and probably more important than ever.

        I did buy a gun though. Target shooting is fun. But, we need a hell of alot more gun control than there is now. If anything, my experience buying a gun made me more scared due to how easy it was.
