We’re talking about voting age adults who are in their 20-30s, ie the boomer’s kids who grew up on Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers, etc.

Clearly, fairness isn’t fair. :P
“We wanted all of our kids to grow up learning that fairness, justice, equality, and truth were important virtues. Now they all believe that shit and we have no idea where they’re getting it from!”
<GASP> Not fairness!! How dare people people believe that the rich aren’t intrinsically better than they are! Don’t they know capitalism means allowing the ultra-rich to warp the laws of this great country for their own benefit? They just don’t understand how difficult life is when you earn tens of thousands per day.
Tom Steyer and Warren Buffett have come out and told Schultz publicly, “Yeah, dude, we should be paying more taxes.” And Abigail Disney & her foundation have made these excellent videos to educate the masses about why she doesn’t need a tax cut but is getting one anyway. Aside from them, I haven’t heard many of the…
The funnier subtext is that he implicitly criticizes the concept of “fairness” and then holds up the idea that the top one percent of earners pay an unfair amount of the taxes as it is.
Yes, clearly they should be taught that Billy was supposed to get 99% of the candy, because Billy’s dad was rich and that makes him a better person. /s
Oh wow! “Fairness”! How Awful! The next thing the FOX network will be complaining about is how some people have been brought up to expect “Liberty” and “Justice For All”.
What if my husband and I each want to have a yacht party at the same time but want to have different themes? WHAT THEN? ARE WE SUPPOSED TO SHARE ONE YACHT?!
Im also curious what is so fucking horrible about fairness?
““The idea of fairness has been promoted in our schools for a long time and we’re starting to see kids who grow up in this notion that fairness above all,” Payne told the hosts. “And now they’re becoming voting age and they’re bringing this ideology with them.””
You do know the democrats were not in charge when the bailout happened, right?
Yeah, I love it when the older generation criticizes the younger one as if they had nothing to do with it. These kids aren’t giving themselves participation trophies....
GOP aren’t the only people who are brainwashed. Lots of Democrats are too. Barack Obama didn’t need to bail out Wall Street in 2008. He could have given homeowners a bailout. Rich people control both sides in lots of ways.
1) Laffer economics actually did work, just not in the way idiots bottom-feeders believed it would. The wealthy invested money in the market and that drove up stock prices, which in turn helped anyone with a 401(k) or any type of investment in that same market. In that sense, there has been a trickle down effect. Of…
I imagine at some point you will see a variation of #2 where the rich are just going to up and flee to some other country and then you’ll be SOL out of ALL their taxes. Oddly no one can quite name what this country is that the rich are going to flee to, given that America already has one of the lowest tax rates in the…
The problem is that 40% of the country has been brainwashed into thinking the GOP gives a shit about them and their causes. They don’t, they just need the stupid people to keep voting for them, because there aren’t enough rich people to keep them in power.

You poors just don’t understand. After a time you have to buy your yacht a yacht companion of its own, or else your yacht will be lonely.
I loved capitalism because i was indoctrinated when I was a kid. I am a socialist now because I’ve lived a life and experienced how rigged our system is.
