What's wrong with someone wanting to provide for his offspring?

Ted Kazinsky was talking about it in his manifesto.

It depends on how much you provide for your offspring according to this deranged terrorist. And I've read stories from billionaire kids not living "the good life" because they never have to fight/work for anything.

That's just bad parenting.

I think rich people tend to be people obsessed with work, giving access to money is easier than teaching their kids to earn stuff - it is a different problem.

Exactly. There are many rich people who have properly raised their children.

An atheistic/secular lifestyle tends to result in such outcomes.
