Survive 21st Century: Think Like Millenials

I get accused of many things. My liberal friends think I am a right wing wacko hard core capitalist.  My right-wing friends think I am a socialist Communist bleeding heart.

Others think I am a wishy-washy independent playing both sides.

If you really want to categorize me, then I guess you could call me a social liberal and a fiscal conservative. But that is way too broad.

I think of myself – without modesty -- as forward thinking. I see myself as thinking like a millennial with the experience of a baby boomer.

That’s why I see problems differently from most Americans.  Too many of us think we are a Republican or Democrat. The problem is Democrats and Republicans are on the same side.

Both political parties -- and their elected officials -- are working together -- against you the American taxpayer. And they win every single time.

The best example is the Congressional committees on the IRS and Benghazi. I'm not saying that something isn’t wrong in what those investigations are trying to look into.  But go back over the last two decades and look at all the other congressional investigations. The Democrats did the same thing when they were in power. Think of all the investigations of corruption by the GOP and the Bush administration that was alleged by Democrats.

Think of what the GOP did against Clinton with Whitewater and Vince Foster’s death – and Monica Lewinsky.

What was the purpose?  Campaign tactics. And what's the end result.  Taxpayer money spent and no real answers at all.  

In fact, when you look at the campaign-finance laws, you realize they work hand-in-glove with these congressional investigations.  They raise money for candidates and special interests.

And most of us in America fall into this game of either siding with the Democrats or the Republicans.
