Yeah. We tell kids stories about monsters who hoard vast sums of wealth, and are always trying to get more and they don't care who else has to suffer as long as they increase their hoard. They don't care who they hurt to get it and even though a fraction of a percent of their hoard could feed and clothe people actually starving, they respond to any attempt to make this happen with anger and violence.

We really shouldn't tell kids monsters don't exist. We should tell them instead they're metaphors for the people running the world.
