Well, I also advocate strongly for higher taxes on the wealthy, railed against lowering business taxes in Alberta and generally support basically every measure on a societal level to help the less fortunate. I hate the widening wealth inequity.
So on a macro level I'm doing all I can with my vote and the organizations I support (I quit the Canadian Federation of Independent Businesses over their lobbying to prevent making paid sick days mandatory for employees) to try to mitigate growing inequity.
In my family I'm doing all I can to help my kids not struggle and suffer.
I think it's a consistent approach and I'm certainly not stepping on any heads to put my kids ahead of yours. I don't see how flying all over the world or buying Porsches would be a better use of my money or help the world or my family in any way, shape or form.
