<Snipped quote by Kho>

That's highly reductionist.  Allow me to offer a highly reductionist counterpoint: imagine if your dad lived across the ocean from where you, under his direction, made your house yourself, and then had to continue living under his rules.  Rather than giving you an allowance, he takes one from you.  Now imagine many thousands of children all doing this for that absentee father.  Might this rub you and your siblings the wrong way?  Again, this masks the complexity of the situation, but I've acknowledged that it's a crude summary.

I expect you were making a joke though.
