CLINTON'S GEN. Y CHARGE: SIX-FIGURE HYPOCRISY May 16, 2006 -- THE ISSUE: Sen. Hillary Clinton's criticism of today's youth for being too lazy to work. Sen. Hillary Clinton says Generation Y doesn't get it because we don't work ("Hill Scolds Lazy Gen. Y," May 12). But she wasn't saying anything bad about us two years ago when she and her party were desperately trying to get votes to win the election against President Bush. This is the same Clinton who voted for the war in Iraq, called on Congress to secure the borders and said we were the generation that was going to empower the country? It sounds like she has a bad case of amnesia. It's amusing to read of Clinton's lecture about how today's youth "think they're entitled to" a high-paying job when they haven't "done anything to earn their way up," because her own daughter was given a six-figure consulting job just after graduation. Hillary herself was appointed the head of an important health-care task force and was also given a senatorial nomination in a state she never lived in, simply because of who she was married to. When it comes to selfishness and a completely unrestrained belief in one's entitlement, Clinton is "Exhibit A." Gary Mottola Brooklyn **** Somebody please tell Clinton that the word "work" actually is a four-letter word. Steve Ellers Wantagh ** Clinton wants us to work harder and to love work. Has she ever worked in a tiny cubicle, for a faceless company, doing the same thing day in and day out? She should be talking about re-humanizing work, creating new and exciting industries and creating jobs where an individual's contribution means something. Sy Levine Flushing **** Clinton's castigating of our young people about their work ethic resembles her blind support for the public monopoly on education. She was able to choose a great school for her daughter because of her wealth and influence, while other families are enslaved in schools that don't work. Clinton should have added that having parents with lots of high-level connections can help you jump ahead of the line and land a six-figure salary, even though you're not yet 30.
