It is only because so many Boomers and those before them have had the ability to leave wealth to their offspring that those like you can apparently come up with some sort of entitlement sense that your parents’ property is an inheritance owed to you.

I am sorry but I find that attitude totally repugnant. It previously only was to be found among the very rich, but I take it from your perspective that it has trickled down to middle-class Millennials. Sickening.

And no, parents don’t owe it to their children to fund their adulthoods.

All that “bad” stuff was voted on by far more than a single generation. In fact, it is your Millennial generation voting further to the left than previous generations did in their likewise uninformed youths.

Really, I think you need a fundamental attitude adjustment.

As a student of history and (albeit less expertly) and after questioning people of many ethnic and cultural backgrounds, I’ve found that it’s been the instinct of every successful civilization to safeguard the positions of their children through ensuring an inheritance. My family on both sides came poor from Ellis Island and advanced my parents’ cause by leaving them in a better position than before. The reason it exists among the very rich is because it is in part how they attained such a position in the first place. Look how it benefits the Chinese and the Indians of this country. Even the Bible portrays the birthright of Jacob which was handed down to him by Issac.

I agree that more than one generation voted for the “bad” stuff, that’s true. People my age are voting left in an attempt to reclaim this thing which was taken from our culture, no matter how misinformed I agree with you that it is.

Dude. We agreed on something.

Let's have a parade.

Or am I mixing you up with 'Lurker'.
