I pick the young. I'm on their side.

Screw them. They've got it easy. When I was a kid the government could snatch your ass away and put it in a rice paddy with a bunch of pissed off people trying to kill you. The economy was worse, much worse. Folks were burning down their hoods. Jack, Bobby and Martin got shot to death. Nobody cared about my "precious self esteem". Taxes were higher and everybody paid, including me in my sorry ass entry level jobs. Instead of texting we talked, instead of sexting we had sex.

The boomers taxes paid for the infrastructure and schools these kids don't appreciate. And paid for the retirement of the 'great generation'. Now it's their turn, tell 'em to get to work.
