I think you guys need to come out to California for a few days.
Even in our wealthy neighborhoods the amount of kids whose parents are not born in America is staggering. Its a different culture - a different time.
The girls look different... mostly dress differently. They have really big shoulders from carry around massive back packs... Many are hunched a bit. My sons high school experience is and will be far different than mine.
Most of the kids don't even listen to rock and roll in high school. I never hear about parties with friends playing music. My kids friends don't know Pearl Jam or Foo Fighters or Rise Against or any more recent rock or alt rock bands... I was lucky my kids started to lock the Foo Fighters when they were on the radio in my car... while driving to sports. Since they liked I decided to like them more. Now I am a big fan.
its a different world out there... not like the times we grew up in. Its not surprising this generation is into socialists. We have so many recent immigrants... (80 million when you include anchor babies) Many families have been on govt give away programs for a generation or two.
Do you see how many people pay for groceries on the lines in front of you with food stamps?
We just have to hope that if we can stop immigration now...
Within a generation we may snap back.
I have very enjoyable political conversation with business owners or law enforcement or high earning mexican americans at kids sporting events.
many are more outspoken than I am about taxes and liberals ruining the country.
There is hope for our kids if we stop immigration from third world countries while we get our govt back.

How do they think their parents got the money to buy the house where they are still living?
