DNC Convention and "investment"

[Rucker61]

Would being rich help you achieve your life goal?

Gotta wonder. Could I still raise my kids to be good men and good citizens if we had way more money? Doesn't work for a lot of rich folks, but it applies across the spectrum of incomes. Could I teach them the same if we were poor? My parents did, for most of us, but it's easier as a parent I think to not see your kids do without nice things. Could my kids get by going to school with just three outfits? Sure, but that's hard on a kid. Will they get a new car on their 16th birthday? Only if my wife buys it with my life insurance.
