All wealth is current and future. There are no “savings” or “investment” that are not at risk from the dishonest.
When folks let the establishment — both government and business — become commonly dishonest then all savings and investment is at great risk, of not only becoming worthless, but even of becoming a serious liability.
That has happened. Public companies have no regard for fiduciary duty, private companies honor only the strongest shareholders, and our perverted government and it’s institutions honor only the most dishonest.
Who thinks they have any wealth? Today, all must WORK to gain it, and that “work” is the very hard work of restoring in our society, individual by individual, institution-by-institution, the honor of scrupulous honesty, and the awful shame of dishonesty.
No. There is no honor in honesty. Honesty is a default requirement for minimum human decency, like caring for one's children or not assaulting people on the street.
In the moral scheme, dishonesty gets you demerits while honesty gets you no credits. It is to be expected from everyone at all times.
