[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Well, that's quite a conundrum. Would you say there is *more* or *less* of the following available to boomers vs millennials: - Government spending for social programs - Student loans for college eductaion - Equality before the law based on race, sex, etc. - Social acceptance for alternative lifestyles - Efficient access to information - Healthier foods and cleaner environment In what way is the modern world worse than it was during the time of boomers that would cause millennials to not achieve as much.[/quote] It's not that they don't achieve necessarily. It's that they don't get paid as much for those achievements. College, housing, health insurance, etc. all cost way more than they did when boomers were younger. [/quote] This comes down to corporate welfare and tax loopholes for businesses and the wealthy. Blame the elected officials on both sides of the aisle who created the system starting in the 1970s—noting the Dems played a role, too. Businesses and wealthy individuals can’t be allowed to hold money offshore without paying taxes. You want to do business here or live here? Great! Pay up. [/quote] Then why are there so many apologists for the [b]0.1%[/b] and people who say corporations shouldn't pay any taxes?[/quote] Because they delusionally think it's them or what they might be even though they have a [b]better chance of being struck by lightning.[/b][/quote] Where do you live that you have a 0.1% chance of being struck by lightning? [/quote]
