All I want is for young people to have the same opportunities I had when I was young. That should not be seen as a radical leftie position. What are now seen as radical left issues are considered moderate policies in most European countries & should be seen that way here as well.

Universal healthcare, free college, no college loan debt, no medical bankruptcy, fair minimum wage…those should be seen as basics provided by government to allow people a reasonable opportunity to thrive. PERIOD.

When you say Europe, be more careful. Eastern Europeans have more experience with the legacy leftist policies. They are running more open and lower tax societies than Western Europe. They know to embrace free markets, not stifle them with taxation.

We stopped being European in 1776.

When you make government bigger, taxes higher that leads to fewer jobs, then the next generation WONT have the same opportunities.

I'm for the young having better opportunities. They seem somewhat degraded, now.
Replying to @marwilliamson
We even paved the way for them after WWII but chose not to do so for our own citizens.
Replying to @marwilliamson
And what opportunities would that be?!
Replying to @marwilliamson
You had those opportunities because of the system in place at the time.
