回复说，因为这些affluent parents know the declining of the west. If they don

grand parents did. 意思就是经济整个在衰落，如果这些孩子不aggressively的抢别
人的pie，那么随着整个pie的缩小，他们将没有祖辈那么好的日子。这里说穷人富人，
如果大家pie都越来越大，保持原来的份额或者即使缩小日子也不难过，难过的是整个
pie都缩小了，即使你的份额不变，日子也不好过，而富人是不会肯让出利益的，他们
会想抢夺更多的share，穷人已经赤贫了，继续穷下去会影响社会，为了保持人道主义
的生活水准，他们也不能动，结果就是中产阶级的pie比原来小，share也比原来小。
