I understand this but they have this sense of entitlement.
I live in a State that has very independent people.Even young people here look at this attitude in disbelief.
Lowest unemployment rate in 60 years.Move if you have to.
You old people just worked a minimum wage job and it paid for College.
Not true.Slept four hours a day and worked two part time jobs while going to School.Drove tractor trailer in summer.
After graduation I worked very hard to find a good job.I was willing to go anywhere.When I found a job I continued to work a second job to retire debt.
Retired my Schools loans by age 32.Then I bought a house not before.
My Daughters had the same work ethic and paid off School loans by their mid 30s.
I think their embrace of the Nanny State Socialism will change when they reach their high earning years.
Once they are making good money; may not like paying 90% taxes to support Socialist government.
