Democrats create the disaster then claim they are the only solution for the disaster.

“Once they get jobs...”

Hence, the induced, historically low labor participation rate.

That’s why the Dems want to keep people out of work or in crappy jobs. Its the only way they can make them wards of the state and in need of government handouts.

I blame getting rid of real cartoons like Road Runner, Tom & Jerry, Looney Tunes, Munsters, and Gilligan. These kids got stuck with 2D crappy cartoons where boogers, farting, and belching replaced humor.

Is it my imagination or is the girl in the center of the posted photo at an Obama—Biden rally actually wearing a Hillary t-shirt under a cardigan?

Our IT department is a “first job” for a number of very bright young people. Management schedules a meeting with them on or near their first payday to go over where the money went, because many of them can’t believe it. Lots of conservatives born on Sticker Shock Day...

What I noticed, maybe I’m wrong, but the leftist indoctrination centers that used to be known as our schools and universities now seem to be pushing a 100% success rate. I can’t remember the last time I met someone under 21 who wasn’t a fully zombified liberal twit. I went to see a friend of mine I didn’t see for a while, and his son is now 17 and WOW, his son is just as leftist as you can imagine. He hit on all the lib talking points, white privilege, rape, racism, Trump is evil, womans right to choose. I could actually see the hypnotic state in his eyes, the pinwheels, poor boy was fully zombified and indoctrinated. I think it’s time people starting really considering home schooling.

I have one like that...

She expected to graduate and walk into a $65K per year job and be rich. She was going to buy a tesla automobile and a nice house...

The $65K salary is NOT out of the question for her field of engineering, but I explained to her that $30K of that is gone right away for taxes.

She almost lost it right then and there.

But then I explained that food clothing, and housing would take EASILY another $2K a month, leaving her with maybe $8k left for spending. Considering she blows a hundred dollars a week on gas and movies and going out (easy) that would leave $3K for a DOWN PAYMENT on her luxury automobile, and $400 a month payments from then on.

On with 10 years of student loans to pay, that wont leave much.

But (here’s the kicker you have to make sure you add) AT LEAST THE GOVERNMENT WILL GET $30K A YEAR TO SPEND!

(she is one of those who ‘feel the bern’)

Obama- Biden

which looks eerily similar to

Osama Bin-Laden.

Coincidence or intentional? I would say intentional.

Whatever harms this country liberals will worship.

As another FR poster says, this is why they don’t do anything to improve job opportunities. This way they have more supporters. If people actually start being productive, they don’t want the government to take the fruit of their labor. Slackers and the indolent want the government to give them stuff free.

That’s why the voting age should be at least 25.

Exception: military service.

When tax rates are not explicit, millennials say they’d prefer larger government offering more services (54 percent) to smaller government offering fewer services (43 percent). However when larger government offering more services is described as requiring high taxes, support flips and 57 percent of millennials opt for smaller government with fewer services and low taxes, while 41 percent prefer large government.

That is the key. Making it clear exactly what people are paying in taxes.

Pretty much no one has a clear idea what they really pay in taxes because much of what we pay is hidden from us in taxes paid by businesses and industrial corporations.

Business does not pay taxes, they collect them. Business passes on to its customers the cost of the taxes that they pay to government. This is government hiding from the citizen the cost of government and making larger government more palatable to the citizen.

When the Leftist try to tell you that businesses are getting off easy on taxes let them know that all taxes roll down to the individual. There is no getting around that fact.

A person’s outlook on life can change quite a bit when they realize where the money to pay for things actually comes from.

Support for socialism drops once they have something for socialism to take.

So, once reality slaps the young an inexperienced in the face, many wake from their dream-state and decide that bums shouldn’t get things for free when THEY have to pay for it. Imagine that...

Causality may flow in a different direction here. Perhaps job providers SELECT for people who believe in capitalism, making job holders more likely to lean capitalist.

Do millennials who get government jobs also turn capitalist?
