Millennials Like Socialism ‐ Until They Get Jobs
2016-04-12

#5  I know a girl who is working her guts out for Bernie. I asked her if 50% taxes bothered her. It didn't.

Why? "Because all I do is babysitting jobs, so I don't have to pay taxes!"

I felt like adding "Duh!" to the end of her sentence, but it would probably have triggered her.

#3  In the defense of the Millennials they all know they are going to pay for the Boomers in the rest homes and probably want to get what they can out of the Boomers now before it is too late.

#2  Most young like socialism because leaving the care of the parents and getting a real job is scary. Then once a decent job is attained the fear is generally replaced by anger at how much is taken from the checks.

Of course this transition doesn't occur for folks that stay in the university system (and to a lesser extent Unions) where jobs are protected.

#1  So what does socialism actually mean to millennials?

Free stuff, that's what it means. Somebody Else's Money©.
