America, more than any other nation in world history, was shaped by the Christian tradition of spreading the gospel unto all nations.

You are a taker, not a maker. All you’ve done your whole life is take from the makers of the world.
The zero-sum mindset you have is at the root of so much evil. Once you realize that civilization is not zero-sum and that it is about making far more than one consumes, then it becomes obvious that the path to prosperity for all is just let the makers make.
Regarding Tesla, the reality is that I have been given nothing.
However, if I lead Tesla to become the most valuable company in the world by far and it stays that way for 5 years, shareholders voted to award me 12% of what is built. Anyone who wants to come along for the ride can buy Tesla stock.
If Tesla “merely” becomes a $1.999 trillion dollar company, I get nothing. This is a great deal for shareholders, which is why they voted so overwhelmingly to approve this, for which I am immensely grateful.
And they did so by a margin far more than you won your political seat.
"Nothing that results in human progress is achieved with unanimous consent. Those that are enlightened before the others are condemned to pursue that light in spite of the others." - Christopher Columbus
Discover, build, and prosper. Happy Columbus Day.
Today is Michaelmas.
The autumn feast of St. Michael the Archangel: guardian of high places, weigher of souls, heavenly warrior against evil, defender against the dark.
Below, the light strikes the high altar at the Magnificat for Michaelmas Vespers.
