Look up the book "Hell's Angel's" by Hunter Thompson.
There's a section in the book where he writes about the economics of being a hippie/biker/artist circa 1970.
A biker could work for six months as a Union stevedore and save up enough money to go on the road for two years. A part time waitress could support herself and her musician boyfreind.
That's what these guys grew up seeing and reading, huh? So they're trying to govern with assumptions that have not held true for decades.
No they are not governing. They are attempting to rule using rhetoric they know sticks with older generations. That's it. Just gotta keep people voting and they will say and do anything to get those votes.
Nah, young folk these days just don't want to work. They need to buckle down, pull on the ol' bootstraps, and work a part time job at the factory while going to college. No reason that shouldn't support a family of 4 with a single income!
