The California Primary: Millennials' Last Fling
"Millennials,
who first arrived in 1980, are the largest generational group in
American history. As such, they tend to have a deep-seated, some would
say exaggerated, sense of their own importance. Now that the last of
the millennials, those born in the late 1990s, have reached voting age,
the millennial generation is exerting ever greater influence on
presidential politics. The campaign of Bernie Sanders, one of the most
radical leftists ever to run for the presidency, is almost their
exclusive preserve.
Sanders's platform
is well targeted to the idealism of most millennials. It offers free
universal health care ("Medicare for all"), free college tuition, a $15
minimum wage, expanded federal housing subsidies, immigration reform
(including "dismantling" detention centers and allowing illegals to
receive Obamacare and other federal benefits), LGBT rights, further
climate change restrictions on fossil fuels, support for the Iran deal,
making the wealthy pay "their fair share," and a host of other liberal
proposals.
The great thing is, according to Bernie, that all of this costs us
practically nothing. Almost all of it would be paid for with new taxes
on corporations and the rich. And in Bernie's world, corporations and
affluent investors would not pass along these costs to consumers. They
would just take the hit and keep providing goods and services at the
same cost as before. LOL."
