But they do ...

In a survey launched by Young America's Foundation and conducted by the polling company, Kellyanne Conway, Inc., more than 60 percent of college-age students feel that government should not take an active role in their day-to-day-lives, and half of respondents believe that the federal government is mostly hurting economic recovery.
If history teaches us anything, a lower tax rate, less spending, and less regulation is the recipe for success. When President Reagan signed the Economic Recovery Tax Act in 1981, 20 million jobs were created, inflation plummeted, and net worth of families earning between $20,000 and $50,000 increased by nearly 30 percent. Right now, our government seems content with the unemployment rate hovering around 8% and a drastically reduced work force. That's unsustainable and unacceptable.

Still, one wonders after they’ve got two or three years worth of loans under their belts if they’ll feel similarly.
Young people need to hear directly from another view point. They don’t get it from school, media, entertainment, or the narrow messaging that gets filtered to them from politicians. Our side should be out speaking on campuses and targeting messages to them 24/7. Until we do, we have problems.

What about helping them pay their college tuition??
Wanting government out of our lives was the impetus behind the hippie movement of the 60s. Ain’t it funny that so many of those free souls now believe in government controlling everything cradle to grave?

Your right, they will feel worse with big government debt on their back.
The sad irony this is the generation that will most feel this burden and probably pass much of it on to their children as well. We must teach constitutionalism.
We must arm our kids with the knowledge of Constitutional law (limits) in government that were once the tools used to protect them from theses evils. They must know enough to bring back theses limits, or recreate them when they should fall completely.
We nonetheless have here the potential seeds of a Constitutional revival. We must not fail to take advantage of it in the decades to come.
But they're perfectly fine with government getting into everybody else's lives.
“What about helping them pay their college tuition??”
More and more of our generation are questioning the value of that tuition collage is grossly over prices and frankly overvalued.
Moving away from public univerisitys and towards more practical Tech Schools and more competitive online schooling is the future.
“”Want Government to Stay Out of Their Lives”
But they’re perfectly fine with government getting into everybody else’s lives.”
This is true but you must remember theses people do not yet live in the real world. They Know nothing of how government really hurts people. But they will someday sooner or later. We must see to it that they understand what they see.
Except when it comes to giving them things. Any reasonable person knows that government has necessary functions, but too many think of it as the first recourse in times of trouble or need. Ask the average person (young person) who they think should help them if they have a problem, and I’ll bet a good number will say “the government”. Time was we looked to ourselves, or if that wasn’t enough perhaps family and friends, to help us out if we were in need. Nowadays too often “the government” has taken those places.
Too bad their parents and grandparents didn't.
But they do ...
Hallelujiah. I pray this is true. Even if it is, I pray they have some impact as voters over all the illegals that are about to become legal under the next amnesty.
We are already past the tipping point of makers vs. takers. I hope there are enough of these kids to move us back under the tipping point.
Wow! They are finally seeing the light? Amazing!
Now if they’d just chunk some of the uber-liberal professors, they just might have a chance!
I have long thought it puzzling that those who were hippies and leftists of the 60s wanted government out of their lives, yet now they embrace total government control.
They haven’t been completely dumbed down, except they will probably vote for Democrats because they think liberals are liberating.
Sooooo......61% didn’t vote for Obama?
Then why did you young'uns vote for the MARXIST?
