@CaitlinERitas Thanks for judging me. You have no idea what I do and don’t do. She kept her political views private. More people in the world should follow her lead.

@StacieGerbyo I had to show my ID and undergo a background check before I could purchase any of my guns.

My Generation Is Blind to the Prosperity Around Us!
I'm sitting in a small coffee shop near Nokomis (Florida) trying to think of what to write about. I scroll through my newsfeed on my phone looking at the latest headlines of presidential candidates calling for policies to "fix" the so-called injustices of capitalism. I put my phone down and continue to look around.

I see people talking freely, working on their MacBook's, ordering food they get in an instant, seeing cars go by outside, and it dawned on me. We live in the most privileged time in the most prosperous nation and we've become completely blind to it.

Vehicles, food, technology, freedom to associate with whom we choose.These things are so ingrained in our American way of life we don't give them a second thought.

We are so well off here in the United States that our poverty line begins 31 times above the global average. Thirty One Times!!!

Virtually no one in the United States is considered poor by global standards. Yet, in a time where we can order a product off Amazon with one click and have it at our doorstep the next day, we are unappreciative, unsatisfied, and ungrateful. ??

Our unappreciation is evident as the popularity of socialist policies among my generation continues to grow. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently said to Newsweek talking about the millennial generation, "An entire generation, which is now becoming one of the largest electorates in America, came of age and never saw American prosperity."

Never saw American prosperity! Let that sink in.

When I first read that statement, I thought to myself, that was quite literally the most entitled and factually illiterate thing I've ever heard in my 26 years on this earth. Many young people agree with her, which is entirely misguided.

My generation is being indoctrinated by a mainstream narrative to actually believe we have never seen prosperity. I know this first hand, I went to college, let's just say I didn't have the popular opinion, but I digress.

Why then, with all of the overwhelming evidence around us, evidence that I can even see sitting at a coffee shop, do we not view this as prosperity? We have people who are dying to get into our country.

People around the world destitute and truly impoverished. Yet, we have a young generation convinced they've never seen prosperity, and as a result, we elect some politicians who are dead set on taking steps towards abolishing capitalism.

Why? The answer is this,?? my generation has only seen prosperity. We have no contrast. We didn't live in the great depression, or live through two world wars, the Korean War, The Vietnam War or we didn't see the rise and fall of socialism and communism.

We don't know what it's like to live without the internet, without cars, without smartphones. We don't have a lack of prosperity problem. We have an entitlement problem, an ungratefulness problem, and it's spreading like a plague."

@RepShontelBrown Your shirt says everything I need to know about you.

@SenWarren I’d rather pay for American security. Your party destroyed this country and it’s going to take a lot to clean up the mess.

@RepJasmine What war? The people of Venezuela are celebrating the fact that the terrorist that took over their country has been arrested.

[Carrie @CareBare77]

@SpencerHakimian I’m sure you want the ACA subsidies extended too. So same question, with what money?

[Carrie @CareBare77]

@Matt_Pinner Go back to bed.

[Carrie @CareBare77]

@rosadelauro Your ACA that was shoved down my throat has cost me more than my health plan my whole life before that stupid thing.

[Carrie @CareBare77]

@JoJoFromJerz These are the people that voted not to pay them.

[Carrie @CareBare77]

@TonyRomm Is this you voting no to paying federal employees on Nov 7?

[Carrie @CareBare77]

@CoryBooker The ACA broke American healthcare and created more profit for the insurance industry.

[Carrie @CareBare77]

@SenGaryPeters It’s really simple, VOTE YES. That’s all it takes but your ego won’t allow you to.

[Carrie @CareBare77]

@allenanalysis If you go to https://t.co/9wR5bXUhm8 you can see who voted to pay federal employees and who voted not to. It’s all there in black and white. The votes are public information.

@GoodMangoes2war @JoJoFromJerz Can I put this in a billboard in blue cities?
