Every other generation previous to 2004 out earns the previous, with jumps in social benefits. Not anymore. They secured the bag, pulled up the ladder behind them, and are currently cementing the top post caps of the great wall of china that they’ve built between us and capital.

    Look folks, conservatives PUSHED for it with a liar war and a fleecing of the public in 2008.

    I was 23 in 2004. That time was the WORST. Bush is such a shitbag and he ruined so much of our future it’s hard to explain it all. It was so bad and has since only gotten worse.

    Me and many of my peers complained to our parents and they just fucked us further with simple stupid giveaways to the rich. They gave ZERO HELP. And continue to do so by voting for conservatives and democrats who also do nothing.

    This dude is spot on.
