I have a 20 y.o. daughter who has worked since she was 15 part time. She paid every cent for her first car. Not because I couldn't go out and buy her one, but because she needed to learn that nothing in life worthwhile is without hard work. I remember her thanking me for not buying her one after she saved up to purchase it saying' It feels like mine', and it was. She has since worked through high school and into college knowing the value of a buck. Where I'm from, most of the kids are hard workers and respectful and would probably knock the snot out of these occupy skinny jean wearing, mommas basement dwelling, indoctrinated self entitled scumbags.
Exp. considering that, given how today study/working hard and having a job are almost unrelated (while sinking the economy and getting a golden parachute is), I guess that the "hard workers and respectful kids" who actually find a job have God supporting them - and thus a strategic advantage.
Now, start to send to jail some of the guys who leveled Wall Street and the savings of millions, instead of giving them golden parachutes, and you will get "skinny jean wearing, mommas basement dwelling, indoctrinated self entitled scumbags" (and I could add "communists" given how fast they grabbed taxpayer money when *their* asses were on the line) getting their due for real.
But I guess the guys at Lehman never burned flags while building empires based on subprimes with money they didn't own, so maybe is this the reason why they get a free "out of jail" card.
