The Democrats' war on the young

Pete DuPont:

First is the war on children, waged by Democrats and their allies in the teachers unions. The tools of the school choice movement—vouchers, scholarships and charter schools—are simply about giving a reprieve to low-income children sentenced to failing schools. Many public schools provide excellent environments for learning, but not all do.

Giving all families the ability to pursue a better education for their children—the same ability the president, members of Congress, and wealthy liberals have—is American to the core. A "good for thee but not for me" approach, evidenced in administration attacks on choice programs in the District of Columbia and Louisiana, seems the ultimate in hypocrisy.

The Democrats' loyalty to the teachers unions is understandable since the union money, votes and volunteers are so important to their electoral prospects. But that does not make the damage any less significant for the children stuck in failed schools.

Republicans should also stress the Democratic Party's war on young adults. ObamaCare penalizes young adults by coercing them to purchase and pay more than they should for health insurance at levels they often don't need. Republicans can point to the unemployment rate among young adults, which is higher than that for other age groups, and is at least partially caused by the left's economy-shrinking policies—not just Obamacare, but also excessive regulation and government control or meddling in all parts of the economy.

While they are at it, Republicans could point to the almost reflexive demagoguery of Democrats to any attempt to fix the long-term finances of the Social Security program, making it less likely today's young adults will be able to count on Social Security when they are older.

There is more.

It is still surprising to me that Democrats have brainwashed young voters into voting against their own interest.  Eventually they have to wake up to how they are being screwed by Obamacare and how their prospects for benefiting from Social Security shrink as long as their is no reform of the current system.  They will either have to pay confiscatory taxes or get a substantially reduced payout when their Social Security bill comes due.
