"Depressed wages, loss of industry and manufacturing, due to over taxation and over regulation. Many in their thirties are still living with mom and dad."

Ya know, it may be the reverse...the trend against growing up my be some of the cause of the depressed wages, industry loss, etc.

The reluctance to marry and raise families is a stark contrast to what normally creates a productive society. And now with us Baby Boomers getting older and soon to start dying out, who is going to keep the tax coffers full in the future?

So, marriage and families raised into productive citizens with American values is being replaced by the TAKERS. Generations who spend their time looking for an easy way out, or for a way for the government to support and nurture them when the parents die out.

Allowing immigrants to enter our country illegally and suck off the National teet that generations of our forefathers have worked and died to provide the rest of us a safe, and secure life, is pure idocy.

Actually, I'm almost 60, but if I was young now, and looked out on the prevailing landscape, I'd probably choose the same option as some of today's young people are doing.

Why try to get a good education, and work your butts off, just so a less qualifed person takes your job because of their color or gender?

Why try to be loyal to an employer for 20 or 30 years, when they will send your job to a 3rd World country in the blink of an eye?

Why bring any more kids into this country, where the freedoms and liberties it has known for over 200 years are being slowly eroded and socialism is taking over?

Our leadership seems to be pushing in that direction, but I think the people will rise up sooner or later...I just hope it's not later.

The problem is the welfare system. The idea of the next generation paying for the current is based on an ever increasing population -- it's not sustainable. We can stop that now, but the baby boomers want to be paid. STop the dole and we'd get folks actually looking for work instead of sitting on their b****
