Why Gen Y and Gen X Should Not Save for Retirement

[Daqane]

Much as I dislike the OWS movement, hipsters and lefter-leaning youth who voted for Barack Obama, I do feel pity for them. They were brainwashed after all (despite their claims they're so "intelligent" and "independent minded") with 13 years of indoctrination in the public schools, 18 years of left-leaning television and media, absentee parenting, government programs every step of the way, and so how do you think they were going to vote? Additionally they're being dumped into the lousiest labor market in (truly) 50 years. Of course, because of their brainwashing and mis-education about economics, they're clueless as to why they can't find jobs, and what's even more sad is it's actually by their own hand voting in socialist policies. So I do have an element of pity for them. Thusly, unlike my typical "tirade, yell, ridicule and mock" type approach I have to politics, with younger folk I've opted to engage them instead of ridicule them

 

This is evidenced by my book Worthless. Yes, I wrote it for money, but I also wrote it to explain to recent college graduates why they can't find employment and to prevent college-bound youth from making the same mistake. I also have my seminar on youtube titled "Why Gen Y is Completely, Hopelessly and Totally Screwed." Again, I was on book tour, but the reason I spent the time putting that together is to provide an explanation to youth as to what was going on and what kind of economic environment they are in. To help them understand "why" things were happening instead of letting them suffer, cluelessly having no idea what was going on and what to do.

The only smart republican president last 40yrs was George Bush senior, oh and Nixon! the king,deceitful, devisive and power hungry who sprayed agent orange on vietnamese,later came Reagan,lost in thought,must admit had john Wayne charisma but remotely aware of what was happening around the white house & the world,and lastly George Bush junior...oo my God!!

Republicans look for someone could be handled by the likes of Donald Ramsfield and Cheney.To them presidency doesn't matter so long it's run from Wyoming.

Democratic presidents run the show,seem more educated in world affairs.

The kids now are just bunch of losers. I see 'em walking about here everyday, and it's like you are looking at Zombies, with no goals/ambitions. It scares me 'walahi.

LOL - they're in debt, can't move out of their parent's home, have no job or are a greeter at Walmart or the like and you expect them to have goals and ambitions. You're lucky they don't burn the whole country down.

he passed health care where every president before him failed,atleast 30 million americans benefited.Pulled out of Iraq and almost afganistan.Resisted anotha war,i.e,libya etc unlike republican presidents it has become a fad thing to engage armed conflict with tiny countries...Nixon escalated vietnam,reagan went to tiny Grenada,Bush senior to panama,Bush junior to Iraq.It's the economy that let him down but poll after poll shows americans still blame Bush who messed up big time.He is not carrying baggage either...not a womanizer etc.
