On Millennials and Socialism
« on: April 03, 2019, 09:45:09 AM »
I really like Carol Roth. This is an opinion piece by her on Millennials, and the "instant gratification" culture that leads so many of them to embrace socialism.

A standout was regarding AOC, who "has never known prosperity", and her $20 a pop lipstick, which she was apparently buying while working as a part time bartender.

Oh, they've also never known American prosperity. All they have is iPhones and $20 lipstick. Crushing poverty.
