With all due respect Bed alot, why? Xeptu, how did your son get to be 35 yrs old and not know any of that? Did you not talk to him about politics etc as he was growing up, about voting and why and how the system works?
I'd have though this is what a parent does as any normal part of raising your offspring. Finance, how it works, IRs, CCs Vs personal loans, saving Vs debt. Politics, as above.
