(1,985 posts)This isn't aimed at those "younger" who are learning, have learned or have an idea how and/or why life today works. But many others will probably be pissed. Good!
As a "young worker in America in the 50s, 60, 70s, 80s and even 90s, if I knew these last few generations would be bitching about THEIR debts or money problems or lack of imagined "gifts" because I"m getting a paltry bit of compensation for what worked for and earned as a much younger person, I would have never paid any taxes nor contributed in any way toward making today's self-entitled youth chanceful or even exist in such a terrible world of this hardship in which you MUST live. I'd have just sat back and done nothing like those before me in the teens, 20s, 30s 40 and even 50s did for their kids...oh, wait...
I want all the taxes I paid over those years so the government could help provide jobs and incentive and education so today's youth can sit on their asses, complain about not making $200,000 per year to cut grass, have cushy jobs in the financial sector or inherit dad's business that he evidently didn't work hard enough to provide for his grand kids so they can complain they got "nothing" while spending their days on their phones and etc, etc.
I guess America got what and where we are today only because some feel 'entitled" to a set of values they never wanted to have to learn or earn themselves?
I'll wait for all the extra money I paid so you could have your safe life style today. But what's really nice is that you young men, mostly, probably WILL get the chance, because of your lack of concern or desire to be informed of the way life works to risk YOUR lives in trump's future as many of us back then did so you could complain about having things so tough today. Take an extra ten out of your paycheck and use it for your tears.
You do know how to do it, right? If not, check your expensive every year renewable Idiot-Phone so Steve and his ilk can and will collect from YOUR kid's ungratefulness. Then bitch because a Later Boomer is making you pay for something you think you MUST have because it's another entitlement someone else should have provided for you.
Welcome to life. Don't like it? Too late. You had a chance to do something about it, like become informed and vote, but it seems most of you CHOSE not to. Live with that.
Show me you're entitled...complain about this post.
Tanstaafl! Unless you're the whelp of a republican.
