Why don't we want to give to the poor and needy? We tell him maybe if he had a job that actually required him to pay a significant amount of taxes he would understand. He still thinks we are jerks.Â
@Maisey1: Yup, a lot young college kids are Dems and want to rescue the world. They want the evil rich to give give give. Big business, big oil, Wall Street are the evil money grubbing enemy.....UNTIL they get a job, realize how people earn money. Suddenly, those bleeding heart liberal Dems become conservative Reps with a sudden value on the money THEY EARN. Then, all of a sudden, they aren't quite so generous with the purse strings.
It's all fun and games when you are spending someone else's money.
I have a 16-year old with his first car, working his first job. Talk about a quick turnaround!!! He'll spend our money like a drunken sailor, but tell him what he wants is in his dime, and suddenly, it's not that important to have or get. 4951
