Comment
The existing money must be available for longer. Thus there is - if nothing is done with the money - less per year. The cake remains the same size, but the years become more.
Das vorhandene Geld muss länger verfügbar sein. Somit gibt es - sofern beim Geld nichts gemacht wird - weniger pro Jahr. Der Kuchen bleibt gleich gross, aber die Jahre werden mehr.

Up to a certain extent, yes. However, the other children must not be neglected. We also need to promote the elite - because this is what moves us forward as a society.
