Telling people all their money should go to the children, other people's children, and they are wrong to spend their own money any way that brings them happiness, is a socialist attitude.

You stole that thought right out of my head! :)

[Notwithstanding]

You missed the memo about socialism:

its when PEOPLE ARE FORCED TO PAY FOR OTHERS,

but its NOT when people are simply asked, or strongly encouraged, to do so!
