I've been developing a wtf-why-not attitude about Obamacare. If all you morons out there want so badly to pay for my healthcare, then why not? You had a chance with Romney. He's a take-charge guy and would've gotten the economy up and running and dragged the employment rate down. He would have tweaked Obamacare so that it actually worked. But you nitwits blindly followed Obama, and now you're about to get the bill for your unthinking allegiance.

This post from Kurt Shclichter perfectly encapsulates my feelings -

"You Millenials voted for Obama by a margin of 28 percent, which will make it a lot easier for me to accept the benefits you will be paying for. We warned you that liberalism was a scam designed to take the fruits of your labor and transfer it to us, the older, established generation. Oh, and also to the couch-dwelling, Democrat-voting losers who live off of food stamps and order junk from QVC with their Obamaphones.

No. There’s no sugar-coating it – your votes for Democrats have ensured that you are the first generation in American history that will fail to exceed what their parents attained. Embracing liberalism was a stupid thing to do, done for the stupidest of reasons, and I will now let you subsidize my affluent lifestyle without a shred of guilt."

Maybe Pain Will Teach You Millenials Not To Vote For Your Own Serfdom - Kurt Schlichter - Page 1

I don't feel bad for my older kids. They smugly voted for Obama twice. Now they can't afford their own healthcare. I do feel bad for my 14 yr old...Obama has him in a lifelong bondage he'll never escape.

But me? You morons will be paying for my healthcare while you struggle to pay off your school loans as you work at crappy jobs.

Except that millenials, and liberals in general, don't see it as slavery or pain to pay for someone else's healthcare while they struggle. Because, they are not as short sighted as conservative Boomers, they recognize they will get old too and need their healthcare paid for. Why do you think young people put up with paying Medicare? Thread fail!

Agreed; they get what they vote for.
Hopefully they'll use more critical thinking next time, as opposed to sound bytes and who the entertainment industry says to vote for.

Maybe it's because millenials realize that one day they will be old too. Or maybe they don't want to see old people unable to pay for health coverage. Maybe they're not as worried about how they can get richer in the short term.

Except for the fact that many millenials won't be able to afford children working crappy jobs, so no one will be paying for their healthcare because their won't be enough young people around to do it. I don't expect Medicare when I get old due to the poor voting choices of my generation. I wish everyone under 35 would wise up and vote for a candidate like Rand Paul.

Yes, the are getting what they paid for. However, most citizens (and a greater percentage in that generation) are too stupid to understand the implications of thier votes. They will continue to vote for candidates like Obama, who will guide them to third world poverty status. And the funny thing is that they will have no clue as to how they arrived at that unhappy situation, when they essentially CHOSE IT.

Studies have shown us millennials are more community oriented and charitable. Maybe these conservative old fart baby boomers should try it sometime.

Newsflash: charity is voluntary, not forced at gunpoint.

No millennial responses. Either they don't buy into our premiss, don't care about your theory, or don't like being called morons.

Either way, your advice has fallen on uninterested ears...again.
