‘ Good points. The young should try to learn what the elderly did to become successful.’
They have.
They’ve realized that government programs and incentives from post ww2 created the middle class that provided them with a more successful result.
Unfortunately those who benefited from those programs think they’ve somehow earned it.
I'm assuming that you're not referring to the WW2 vets who came home and went to work, because they definitely "earned it" from a greatful nation.
So you must be referring to their children, and their children's children.
To the extent that the descendants "earned" anything, it was a work ethic that they learned from their parents and grandparents; a sense of familial duty to be the "breadwinner" --the income earner -- for their own family, and accepting that the burden that comes with that is paying into a system that makes elderly life easier for their parents and grandparents; and instilling on their own children the same sense of family and obligation that one day, they will get a job, support a family, and also pay into the system that will ease the burdens of their parents and grandparents.

Since you know it all, except maybe how to make money, tell me about the government programs and incentives that benefitted me. Specifics. We’ll see how well you do.
