Tell those same millennials that their 15 dollar an hour job will be about 1.50 an hour after ol Bernie taxes them 90 percent..that is how Socialism works but what do they care, they have been taught in college that Socialism is awesome and Capitalism is evil, once they see their bank accounts reduced to nothing they will ask where all their money is oops the Govt has it now
So, they prefer something they’ve never lived under?
If the Greatest Country on Earth can afford to bail-out all of those Wall Street banks, it can afford to pay my tuition.
Their thinking goes something like that.
How many 18-29 year olds voted in the republican primary in NH???
When they wake up, it will be to late for them.
The Actual Reason Socialism Isn’t A Bugaboo For Millennials - the DELIBERATE Failure of education.
“The advancement and diffusion of knowledge is the only guardian of true liberty.”
- James Madison
With all the scary economic news, Millennials are about to get a dose of reality.
We told you they were stupid.
Our son liked socialism when he studied it in school until we explained to him that he would be paying for it for other people who did not work as hard as he did at school.
I believe it was the first time he thought about it in personal terms.
these are the same people you see in line for the new iPhone yet they cry about not being able to afford health care
They are so in tune with Social Media,they think Socialism is just another form of it. At some point it better sink in or they are in for a rude awaking
Really we been to two Small States with New England Liberal Colleges and Iowa.
In reality the Progressives have these kids with so much debt in College and no Jobs.
The first thing with any sense would ask why is College so expensive?
Where are the debt adviser telling them what it will cost them to repay each year in College and how long.
Does any of them even if Bernie was Elected that this Country is going to pay for their College?
It'll be the millenials who will have to deal with the mess and it won't be pretty. But it is all their choice.
I am worried for the conservative kids. Conservative kids will still have the good work ethic and will be carrying the load of the massive welfare state and of course, the American dream will be gone forever.
All they have seen is crony capitalism where the way to make big money is to bribe politicians. They have never experienced a true free market. Plus they are drowning in debt with worthless degrees and Sanders promises to erase that debt.
The old definition of Socialism is equality enforced from the top down--with the best known example being Communism. The new modern definition of Socialism is equality enforced by bottom up--for example, the Open Source movement for computer operating systems such as Linux and the user-editable Wikipedia. I think the Millenials are going to get into a lot of clashes with older political leaders who still believe in top-down enforced equality....
The same people who want free birth control and when they get pregnant want someone to give them a free abortion.
Going to college is extremely expensive and time consuming. It also contributes to sex outside of marriage because in the 'olden days' people married younger and thus satisfied their urges in marriage.
Our grandparents were not better able to withstand the urges - they just got married earlier. Now men and women delay marriage to satisfy the urge have sex without marriage and don't produce kids anymore. Then maybe they get a low paying job out of college and until they pay their debts they won't have kids or get married - etc. It's a vicious cycle.
A 90% tax rate, Bernie said it will be OK because of all the free stuff you get with it.
Eventually, the few people who actually have jobs, will realize that they are paying for everyone else to get free stuff.
They will ask themselves, why bother working at all.
The BIG EDUCATION cycle
1) make unlimited subsidized credit available to students
2) universities raise prices to tap available funds
3) universities pay profs and admins big salaries
4) profs and admins donate to Democrats
and repeat
