It will be interesting to see how many heroic CEOs, members of Congress, and occupants of the White House will follow Lt (Gov) Dan in pledging themselves as martyrs for the sake of their grandchildren’s prosperity.

I don’t think Lt (Gov) Dan was offering up himself at all. He meant other grandparents, like the not rich kind.

I've watched this a few times now, and every time he says, "What we all care about, and what we love more than anything" it absolutely stuns me every single time that the next words out of his mouth aren't "is money."

Sacrifice is only for the prosperity of rich children--make no mistake about that. They expect the rest of us to sacrifice for their children and grandkids wealth.
