Dear Joe Scarborough,
I’m 33 years old this year, which means I was born in October of 1980, just about three weeks or so before Ronald Reagan was elected. All my life, all I have known is post-Reaganomics life. I came of age as Bill Clinton was leaving office and George W. Bush, the first man I ever cast a vote for president for, was entering. I believe I am of the generation that you feel you are speaking on behalf of when you speak of “generation theft.” So while I duly appreciate your concern, if I may be so bold, I must deliver to you a message:
There is a political group that is facilitating the theft of the next generations to come by the Baby Boomers. They’re called “Republicans.”
Speaking of generation theft, if you wouldn’t mind, allow me, someone who is actually of the generation impacted by the deficit spending and the discussion of the role of government in our future, to speak for ourselves. I am well aware and very committed to the notion that America must keep paying society forward by continuing our tradition of educating and equipping the next generation as best as current technology and methods allow. And yet, I am also very convinced that we have to honor the promises we’ve made to the older generation, those that have put in their due; contributors to society. Lastly, as a product of the Information Age, I demand true and pure, sacred, equality.
That means equality of opportunity from the highest of the ivory towers to the lowest of the gutters in which a homeless veteran currently finds refuge. This means equality of love, that no matter which way your deity of choice oriented your sexuality, that does not and cannot mitigate one’s equality of love or quality of life. I demand equality of choice to choose whichever vice I desire without fear of criminal retribution, provided my vice is exercised responsibly and under consent of the standards of societal norms. I demand equality of pay no matter which genitalia your deity of choice put you into this world bearing.
