You are a bit younger so you never got to experience what we experienced. It is harder for you to understand never having actually lived it. Heres the thing,.......Most of us who feel the way we do are at least in our 50's , like myself. At that age there really is nothing the LW or socialists can do to us,....we are quite set. Considering those facts,.....the frustrating part is we are not fighting for ourselves, like I said,...we are set. We are actually fighting for YOU! We fight for the younger people who never got to live the life we lived. Who never had the chance. We dont have to do this, believe you me,... but we choose to,....we do it because we actually care. We dont want American exceptionalism and prosperity to end with us,.....we want you to get your slice too and pay it forward. This is how it has always been done. A better life then those before you. Not worse like it is now. Just the truth......
In the history of the world nobody gets to live the life their parents lived. Its has not always been "better" for each generation, it changes and those changes bring about good and bad things. YOu are like the old man screaming for kids to get off his lawn, or the old lady upset because girls are showing their knees at the beach. Accept change, and work to make it good change for change is inevitable.
I think you suffer from what I call "Happy Days Syndrome", you grew up watching Happy Days or Father Knows Best and thought that was a reflection on what the 1950's were like for everyone, IT WAS NOT.
