If you are fearful that the new generation of v**ers don’t get it, read this article written by Alyssa Ahlgren. I think her analysis of why they think the way they do is exactly correct.

“I’m sitting in a small coffee shop near Nokomis trying to think of what to write about. I scroll through my newsfeed on my phone looking at the latest headlines of Democratic candidates calling for policies to “fix” the so-called injustices of capitalism.

I put my phone down and continue to look around. I see people talking freely, working on their MacBook’s, ordering food they get in an instant, seeing cars go by outside, and it dawned on me.

We live in the most privileged time in the most prosperous nation and we’ve become completely blind to it. Vehicles, food, technology, freedom to associate with whom we choose. These things are so ingrained in our American way of life we don’t give them a second thought.

We are so well off here in the United States that our poverty line begins 31 times above the global average. Thirty. One. Times. Virtually no one in the United States is considered poor by global standards. Yet, in a time where we can order a product off Amazon with one click and have it at our doorstep the next day, we are unappreciative, unsatisfied, and ungrateful.

Our unappreciation is evident as the popularity of socialist policies among my generation continues to grow. Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently said to Newsweek talking about the millennial generation, “An entire generation, which is now becoming one of the largest e*****rates in America, came of age and never saw American prosperity.”

Never saw American prosperity. Let that sink in. When I first read that statement, I thought to myself, that was quite literally the most entitled and factually illiterate thing I’ve ever heard in my 26 years on this earth. Now, I’m not attributing Miss Ocasio-Cortez’s words to outright dishonesty. I do think she whole-heartedly believes the words she said to be true. Many young people agree with her, which is entirely misguided. My generation is being indoctrinated by a mainstream narrative to actually believe we have never seen prosperity. I know this first hand, I went to college, let’s just say I didn’t have the popular opinion, but I digress.

Let me lay down some universal t***hs really quick. The United States of America has lifted more people out of abject poverty, spread more freedom and democracy, and has created more innovation in technology and medicine than any other nation in human history. Not only that but our citizenry continually breaks world records with charitable donations, the rags to riches story is not only possible in America but not uncommon, we have the strongest purchasing power on earth, and we encompass 25% of the world’s GDP. The list goes on. However, these universal t***hs don’t matter. We are told that income ine******y is an existential crisis (even though this is not an indicator of prosperity, some of the poorest countries in the world have low-income ine******y), we are told that we are oppressed by capitalism (even though it’s brought about more freedom and wealth to the most people than any other system in world history), we are told that the only way we will acquire the benefits of true prosperity is through socialism and centralization of federal power (even though history has proven time and again this only brings tyranny and suffering).

Why then, with all of the overwhelming evidence around us, evidence that I can even see sitting at a coffee shop, do we not view this as prosperity? We have people who are dying to get into our country. People around the world destitute and truly impoverished. Yet, we have a young generation convinced they’ve never seen prosperity, and as a result, elect politicians dead set on taking steps towards abolishing capitalism. Why? The answer is this, my generation has ONLY seen prosperity. We have no contrast. We didn’t live in the great depression, or live through two world wars, or see the rise and fall of socialism and c*******m. We don’t know what it’s like not to live without the internet, without cars, without smartphones. We don’t have a lack of prosperity problem. We have an entitlement problem, an ungratefulness problem, and it’s spreading like a plague.

With the current political climate giving rise to the misguided idea of a socialist utopia, will we see the light? Or will we have to lose it all to realize that what we have now is true prosperity? Destroying the free market will undo what millions of people have died to achieve.

My generation is becoming the largest v****g bloc in the country. We have an opportunity to continue to propel us forward with the gifts capitalism and democracy has given us.

The other option is that we can fall into the trap of entitlement and relapse into restrictive socialist destitution. The choice doesn’t seem too hard, does it?” Amen and Amen

4430,, this is a good post. Alyssa has some point..

but two things need to remembered..

A persons prosperity must be judged in the society in which they live. I does not matter if they have more goods then 70% of the world living on the other side of the planet.. If we compared the same people to the population of Dubai, the result would show far differing levels. we would be the one living in comparative poverty..

Also, as to Capitalism... most looking to reform are working for a regulated capitalism..

Capitalism, unfettered becomes just one more form of suppression.. the labor faction loses all input and becomes only a necessary cog for the production of wealth to the owners..

Today is the rise of the “I deserve it” generation.

Not only do they believe that they deserve it, they honestly believe that all the good things this great country has to offer should be handed to them free of charge, with no effort on their part just because "they deserve it"What they deserve is a manditory year worth of work at no pay doing things like cleaning up the garbage that has become the norm in all Democrat run big cities. They should be required to spend at least one month putting out rat traps in Harlem and collecting the dead rodents and disposing of them in a safe and sanitary way. Then they might appreciate what they have here instead of demanding that the USA be brought down to the level of a third world hell hole so that all of the world is on the same level, instead of helping the third world become more like America was thirty years ago, not what they are forcing us into today.

Just look at the stats for young people. They live in the gig ecomony. They don't have steady jobs, because they can't get them. They have crushing student debt, and due to g****l w*****g, they are looking at a dicey future. if they don't have a sk**l, or a degree they have a Mc job. 51 percent of people 18 to 30 are living with their parents. This is good? This didn't happen when I joined the job market.

I told one of our local restaurants owners I appreciated the fact he was hiring some high schools kids and he said it was getting harder and harder to find any willing to work seems Mom and Dad were giving them everything they wanted !

I am forever grateful that my parents had chores to do for my sister and I and living on a farm there were always chores to do .

And whose fault is that? Crushing student debt because they chose to pay over inflated costs to colleges for worthless degrees because of guaranteed government loans. Our colleges are some of the most outlandish profitable business's in the world. Easy loan money doesn't give colleges any incentive to have competitive costs. You dummies and G****l w*****g. Scientists in Norway, you know, guys with PHD's just determined after a lengthy comprehensive study determined if man was eliminated from the earth tomorrow, the temperatures would gradually continue to rise for the next 400 years.. I'd tell you why but you're too dumb to understand. On a side note the Bible does predict some real fun g****l w*****g in the future. Hope you enjoy.

WHAT YOU SAID IUS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!! It reminds me of something that I heard someone say. She said that her youngest child, her 34-year-old son, lives at home in the basement, has started getting into trouble, and has rejected all that she and their family believe and have always lived out before him. She said that she can't understand what his problem is. They gave him everything that he ever wanted. When he wanted a new car, they bought it for him. He's never worked a day in his life but gets wh**ever he wants. Then she had an "Aha" moment. She hit her forehead with the palm of her hand and said,
"Maybe that's why he's a Bernie Sanders supporter!"

Capitalism taken to its extreme does result in greed to a large extent but that exists in just a few cases. We certainly see it nowadays with large conglomerates like Facebook, Twitter, Google, Amazon and Nike. They are like the robber barons of old that got too big and had to be broken up. They suppress conservative speech, become monopolies, donate $$billions to marxist causes and their executives make $$ billions and then want to suppress others who want to earn a good living. On the other hand we have large government that also seeks to gain all of the power from the people, ens***e and chain people to obey the state and limit the amount of money they can make to keep them subordinate to the state. Look how the totalitarian l*****t governors are mandating face masks, no singing, no church, no groups of 10 or more allowed to congregate and then look at the fines and imprisonment they want to impose. I'll take my chances with a capitalistic form of society since at least they can't raid my home, pull me out, cuff me and throw me in prison. We already see what the demorat party wants to do with those who object to their policies. Guys like you who endorse these policies are indeed dangerous to our God given liberties.

All forms of governance and all of forms of economic policy are flawed. Why? Because humans, the inventors of such things are flawed. However; I believe our form of government and capitalism, are the two best models of their respective disciplines. When you mix economic models with politicians is where you get into trouble. Incentivizing certain behaviors for v**es or giving preferred treatment to some for v**es corrupts the system. Our entire tax code is nothing but a supposed basket of goodies for preferred backers of different political parties. We have allowed a capitalist Oligarch society, where some entities and or individuals are so powerful they do not have to play by the rules of the rest of us. Certain segments constantly look to bend the Constitution to their advantage using an ever bigger and more intrusive government. This government throws out the Constitution in the guise of security. "We" do this for you because we know better than you. For some reason the left prefers this treatment and even encourages it. Personally I'll take liberty.
