Because young people their age today act like morons.
That was going to be my reply. “Young” is relative. Then they had been working on farms, in the family trade since very young. They were not “young” as we think of it today.
Some young people their age today act like morons. Some give me a great deal of hope for the future. For every Obama-worshiping moron who can't check his own oil or who thinks her boss should pay for her birth control and other hobbies, there is another young person who genuinely gets it and values freedom. For every gender studies major who is confused on why after nine years as an undergraduate he still lives in Mommy's basement and gets yelled at for being late to his job flipping burgers, there is an engineer or an accountant who puts in extra time on the job to make sure that his work meets his own standards. For every parasite voting democrat to get free stuff, there is a patriot practicing at the local gun range while praying that it won't be necessary to water the Tree of Liberty.
