47. Sounds like typical GOP judgmentalism
You know -- when someone has a low salary or is in circumstances that are not ideal, the GOP response is always -- well, that's YOUR fault. YOU didn't work hard enough. A far left response would be it's NEVER their fault, it's the system's fault, which I equally disagree with.

How about reality? SOME young people work super hard but don't get the same breaks as young people from more privileged backgrounds who may not work hard at all. OTHER young people are lazy or unmotivated, and end up stuck early on in their careers in dead end jobs, and don't work hard thereby guaranteeing they won't be promoted. Young people of this generation are no different than any generation before them in one crucial respect. They're impatient. They want the world and they want it . . . now!!!!!! It's really sad when such words can come from a baby boomer who was also impatient in her day to advance society. Where is the young Hillary? What makes her tick? I can't BELIEVE this is what she believes.
