>Most people are busy trying to free their children, spouse, and immediate family

what you're basically saying is that most people are primarily concerned with their communities. that's true and it's not even unreasonable but what's also true is that the communities of most people in positions of power are not marginalized/precarious.

I think referring to your direct offspring as "the community" is a bit disingenuous.

i don't get your point. are the direct offspring of a wealthy person more at risk or less at risk than that wealthy person's community?

I'm not suggesting either, just that hoarding resources for your immediate family does not sound as altruistic or venerable as hoarding resources for "your community."

but i'm not advocating for this? in effect i agree with you. i'm exactly pointing out that it's disingenuous to say that someone is protecting their family and that it does end up being just greed.

I never tried to indicate that I was disagreeing with you
