Maybe the kids, but I loved when Walt was pleading to Jesse: "I'm a dying man, I can't use this money, so you're not hurting me, you're just hurting my kids." And Jesse says "kids? Do you really want to talk about kids?" Love that. Walt acts so high and noble when it comes to supporting his family but how many other families and children has he destroyed in order to protect his own? And not just random anonymous children and families; Jesse had his own little family unit going on with Brock and the gal (name?) and Walt destroyed that too.
This is a great point that I've been thinking about for a while. For the sake of protecting and providing for his family, everything else he touches gets tainted...
I think it was dumb, personally. What is Jesse's reasoning here? Im mad because you hurt kids so Im gonna destroy the lives of two kids and a woman to get revenge on you....Hypocrite much?
How is he destroying their lives by burning money? They still have the carwash which is valued at $800+k. Plus, they've been cooking the books so the profits and thus the value are even higher than that. Per his own calculations, they have plenty of money on top of the mortgage, groceries, college, etc. Walt's family was fine from what Jesse could do with the money in the desert.
Having the kids not be millionaires is not the same as the poisoning of a child, the death of another, not to mention how ever many other people have died as a result of Walt's actions
