When you are poor you also have little to no agency over your own life. You are at the mercy of just about everything.
That’s the thing that scares them—they don’t want to suffer before they die. Being poor is suffering to them and they know most don’t help the poor because they are part of the “most”.
In this country, being poor is or leads to suffering. That is a hard rule that applies to all, not just "them". It is how the system keeps us rats on the treadmill.
You’re correct, but I am addressing those that are American and not yet poor and why they are afraid of losing their retirement wealth over dying. I’m not talking about being poor itself and what it means.
Well that's easily answered. It's because they know how fucking easy it is to happen. They think if they leave their kids with enough wealth, they can just die easily "knowing" they left their kid in a good position but they trashed the world in doing so. They're just the most thoughtlessly evil generation there ever was. Just fucking braindead to their own goals that they got from their parents. "Smell that? It's the smell of money" no grandpa, that's the smell of poverty and cancer you piece of shit.
