When you learn to listen and consider the arguments of your fellow man

You could be a Leader

Presently

You come off as as a naive person who is bigoted..

Well for one thing, we've had binge spending on our credit card since ****** Nixon. So you can't just blame Boomers. Each generation seems to learn less than the previous one from prior mistakes. IMHO, this has culminated in the current clueless crop, Tap, which seems even more concerned with silly pc ideas intertwined with victimhood (quotas, gay marriage, all religions are the same, hate crimes vs love crimes?, children's & illegals "rights", etc.) instead of substantive ones such as lowering the debt/taxes, guarding the borders, promoting free enterprise, freedom of religion w/o pointing fingers, and promoting basic human values (honesty, respect, loyalty, & work ethic) for which this country was alway in the forefront- or so we thought...

But having said that, yes, I think that my generation (Baby Boomers) has helped degenerate our country even faster in the last 40 years.

Taps, nothing personal, because I really do like you. But, YOUR Generation is going to fix things? The same generation that voted overwhelmingly for Obama twice? The same generation that supports all the PC bull crap and run away government spending and regulation? THAT generation is going to fix everything? Sheesh dude, are you serious?

Just so you understand where I'm coming from. I've been a Libertarian since '96 (much longer then you've even been able to vote). We've been trying to fix things for many, many years, but the masses keep voting for more of the same. Maybe your generation will be the one that finally wakes the he11 up, but right now, I don't see it.

Sadly,
I think the entitlement generation is going to hurt this country more. Maybe I am still too Novice/Young to realize I should be ok with being *&%# in the ass repeatedly. Why should my generation not be allowed to fix and better Our future? I can't really talk to my father because he is a stubborn Liberal. So I am being sincere when I am asking you to give your opinion.

The United States imperial empire is going bankrupt. For some time it has not been able to survive without massive debt. Debt taken on to build roads, infrastructure, schools, airports and things that move the economy can be good debt. The USA takes on debt to make welfare payments and pay interest on debt. The USA borrows money for basic operating expenses. The USA borrows money to fight wars in distant lands, not to provide for the common defense of the states but for the common defense of the world.

All politicians at the Federal level know that the Federal debt is too large to even be repaid. A simple test is to look at how much money would be needed to just balance the budget and how drastically your personal income taxes would have to rise. Now imagine how much more your taxes would rise if we paid 500 billion a year for 34 years to pay off the debt. Then imagine what the economy would look like when 10% of the business and personal spending vanish as that money is taken through taxes to pay off the debt. That is the face of austerity.

The politician's goal is to not have this happen on their watch, enjoy some really good dinner parties, and government-paid travel.

Okay, so let's do some quick basic mathematics: Taps blames Baby Boomers and George W ( who I'm NO fan of either) . And has gained all of his enlightenment over the course of 27 yrs of being alive.
So now the basic mathematics.....when GWB took office in the year 2000 Taps would have been what 14-15 yrs old? And yet he apparently has sage like wisdom and knowledge when it comes to what's wrong....who's responsible and how to fix it. Got it!! 🌫

I voted for Bush in 04. This was my 1st time voting, I went with my gut and really didn't know better. It was like being fed to the wolves as neither candidates appealed to me. I just felt Kerry was no way in hell going to get us out of the mess we were in at the time and BUSH deserved the opportunity to right the ship. After I voted for the first time, I was a little overwhelmed. I felt I had did my obligation, but I voted really with not knowing what each politician really stood for. I have tried to put Party sides to the side since this election and get as much information I could in order to see who benefits myself the most.

Fast Forward 2008

I voted for McCain in the GOP run off. Once he brought Ms. Alaska on board I jumped off that ship. The GOP needs to appeal to the younger generations, which they really haven't done. (Here is the Biggest lesson I learned) I ended up voting for Obama as I felt I could trust him. Sadly I learned the HARD way no politician can be trusted.

2012

I literally went into this election hoping for change (8-[ ). Romney to me just was not the answer. It all boiled down to I gave Bush that 2nd chance, why not see if Obama will come back on his promises.(Lesser of 2 Evils approach) I truly did not trust Romney. This past election & seeing the divide in the GOP left me questioning where my allegiance was. This is why I call myself an Independent Conservative.

I am not here to belittle ones views or party. I am listening Jack!

^^^ Voted for Obama TWICE and it's the older generations fault?!?!
Expected Obama to come back on his promises?!?! More like bail-out on his promise of Hope & Change.

What you say makes perfect sense, Taps.

I've voted straight Republican up until Bush junior's 2nd term when I yanked the lever for Kerry more out of protest to Bush's lies and ineptitude than anything else. Didn't have the stomach to vote for McLame and chattermouth & thus sat it out until I voted Romney/Ryan. Unfortunately, it appears that most continued to sit it out. Not my favorites but I felt Obama/Biden would do irreparable harm- which they have.

Don't worry about it now. We could vote for "Mr./Mrs. Perfect" now and it would still be too late IMHO. We're too far down that road...
Just work hard, love family, & keep the faith.

No need to blame just the GOP. In my lifetime, the Democrat party has been the majority more often and have done there share of harm if not more.

As I stated above, the younger folks have always had a refreshingly naive outlook but that's not how the real world works.
The major parties put out candidates for their likeability factor with most voters- not necessarily for their principles or practical ingenuity.
