The article critiques Donald Trump's initiative to provide $1,000 to every newborn for stock market investment, framing it as a capitalist strategy rather than true family support. It contrasts Trump's proposal with global right-wing policies that appear pro-family but are funded by significant cuts to social welfare programs. The piece highlights historical examples, such as the UK’s Child Trust Fund, to argue that these measures often fail to yield lasting benefits for families and ultimately enrich the wealthy, showcasing a misalignment of intent and outcome.
Trump's initiative to give newborns $1,000 for the stock market is framed as fostering capitalism, yet it's built on a tax cut for the wealthy, not on genuine family support.
This baby bond is part of a larger trend of policies that superficially appear pro-family, but in effect, often redirect funding from social welfare to support the rich.
