Of course the young buy it.

Too many of them are still living at home, being supported, and buying into the notion that they could never have a life like their parent's life. Politicians prey on that.

The truth is that young potential voters expect to be able to replicate their parent's lifestyle as soon as they walk out the door. Everything is instant these days, why not prosperity? Or even relative prosperity.... The entitlement mentality is alive and well.

It all starts when they're pre-teens and younger. I'm convinced that the under 18 set has more disposable cash than their parents. It's the only thing that could possibly account for the horrible movies targeted to youth.

Someone just sent me a poster.

It read:

TEENAGERS!

Tired of being harassed by your stupid parents?

ACT NOW!

Move out---
Get a job---
Pay your own bills---
DO IT WHILE YOU STILL KNOW EVERYTHING....
