Participant[quote=walterwhite]shouldnt older people be helping young people, esp if a lot of the nation’s wealth has been transferred to older people?[/quote]
To what extent? Helping is a good thing. Fostering dependence isn’t IMHO.

ParticipantWouldn’t a 20 something getting a free ride realize it? Surely they know other 20 somethings that aren’t getting such a “sweet deal”. They can’t be so sheltered to believe everyone has everything handed to them.
These arguments that they “weren’t prepared for the world” are hollow to me. I never cleaned a bathroom or did laundry until I moved out, but I figured out how. It wasn’t that hard. And it beat being financially dependent on my parents. But that’s just me.
I blame the enabling parents, but I blame many of the kids too. I have a niece and a nephew. Both were given everything they could ever need to succeed. The niece took advantage of it, graduated from college in 4 years, got a good job, and bought her own place. The nephew spent 5 years in junior college before transferring to a 4 year university, then dropped out after one semester after somehow just then learning that most jobs in his field were indoor desk jobs, which was not good. He’s been living at home for the 2 years since. I think he’s working now (my sister or brother in law have gotten him most of the jobs he’s had).
Some kids will take advantage of the opportunity, and some will just take advantage of their parents.
