*Everybody* *Always* has a young voter problem.

Namely, that they’re fickle and think everything is so unfair.

It was long ago, but I was young once, too... and “young voters” tend to believe Mommy/Daddy Government should fix it for them.

The thing I tell my kids? And hey - guess what, I came of age in the 70s/80s when inflation was FAR worse than now, but:

1) YOU need to be responsible for YOU.

2) Any path that involves a GOVERNMENT solution is NOT you being responsible for you.

Sucks for elections, but “young voters” always think some cabal is screwing them. I was no different long ago.

We *ARE* saddling them with unsustainable government debt, but that doesn’t excuse YOU from planning for YOU.

When I was young, I did a lot of stupid things, but voting for Communists and democrats was not one of them.

***********************

I have a huge family and my wife has an even bigger family.
Over the last 10 to 15 years I’ve told multiple youngsters:

Stop chasing conspiracy theories and look in the mirror. The sooner you take control of your life and realize that you’re setting artificial barriers to success, the sooner you can progress up the economic ladder.

It seems to have worked with about half of them.(10 out of 20.)
