Have you always held your leftist leanings or have you been indoctrinated by your liberal professor(s)? Studies have proven then 85% of college profs are liberal and lean to the left.

The percentage of poor people in this country is the same today as in the '60's when LBJ started the "Great Society" social programs. Trillions of dollars later the poor are still with us. Most people who are poor are that way because of poor life choices: drugs, alchol, babies out of wedlock, hanging around with the wrong crowd(getting arrested), divorced(married a scumbag or scumbagee when told not to), don't save money, dropping out of school, no responsibilty etc etc etc etc. Why can't leftist liberals just come to the realization that some people are just hopeless causes and no matter what you do for them the result will still be the same??

I noticed that one of the most popular shirts among Gen Y's has a slogan "Only old people vote". I also saw a comment by a young lady recently that said she did not vote because none of the issues affect her. This girl does not have a clue. The medicare R/X bill and other cradle to the grave programs are not going to affect her??? I really feel sorry for your generation. When the baby boomers hit retirement age your generation is going to be taxed so heavily to pay for SS & medicare bills you will never be able to afford a '69 Camaro. Plus your SS retirement age will probably be raised to 70+ and your benefit will be means tested if you get it at all.

It is also a irony that most leftist/marxist/socialist groups are in bed with the environmental groups and share many of the same views. People control through mass transit and loss of private vehicles ownership is just one belief held by both groups. Why you would associate your views with them is beyond me. Boy you never will get your '69 Camaro.

Final comment: Why have all communist governments failed?? Name one that been a success. And don't give me that crap about it was not true Marxism. Even most Socialist countries have been a failure and most are going to free enterprise and private ownership i.e. Swden, Norway, India, Ireland,Scotland, Switzerland etc. Look at India. Up to 1992 it was one of the most Socialist countries in the world and was a buacratic nightmare. This is one reason the country had a Brain drain. One drug maker said a drug that would take 2-3 years to get aproval in the US would take 12-15 years in India. They have since embraced private ownership/capitalism and they have been gaining a busting economy.

I would like to see how you feel 10 years from know when 60-70% of your paycheck goes to pay social programs.
