I think youth are much more involved these days ,than when I was 18 ,the only aspect of government dealt with was osap ,parents would mutter this or that but were really not involving the kids ,class leader and then college voting introduced me to the choosing a "party" world .
The governments of the last 15 years have been sucking in our monies and giving back less and less in services ,it seems to about how the country looks on the world stage more than how the people are looked after ,by allowing children to join a political party at 14 16 is basically stealing a vote .We are becoming controlled thur money ,youth are under pressure from day one --counting finger toes ,tested for hearing ,expected to be toilet trained by 2 ,finished primary school by a certain age ,conform ,all conditioning for what ? oh to fit into a mold ,I'm not sure burdening youth with too much politics if they aren't ready is worth it ,I think it causes despair .
Imagine being 17 -18 finding out the very people that govern us steal from us ,take our money for their own pleasure ,then cost us more to seek out only a few ,this is what you will be dealing with" welcome" to the real world Son ,you either fight them ,join them or ignore them and pay as little tax as possible ,We are suppose to be able to trust these people and again an again they fail us ,how is youth to learn from government if the very government is suc\h a detrimental teacher ,tax breaks for rich ,seniors/ disabled live in poverty ,they (government)take away one thing by 30 % then give back 5% and were suppose to be fortunate . We seem to forget it is our money )
People use to be able to count on a sort of pension from government and work ,now they tell us to do it yourselves or starve ,work more hours at less pay and you will stay afloat. This new 10 .25 over 3 years by the time the 3 years creeps up we will need 12 -15 an hour to just survive ,All that will do is the people that would have got a reg raise wont .Penalize you for what you drive , the government should not penalize "control" ,make it look like the government brought in the clean air act ,mean while people have been sizing down their cars for 5 years on their own .
I don't see giving at all ,I see take take, take ,we are ones who fight to save forest ,who recycle ,who want a better world for others ,why do we not all have solar roofs ,why wasn't tons of money put into that in the 1970 ,because goverment could figure how to make money off it ,would that be better than encouraging us to use the light bulbs that look like they cause more waste and co st 5 time the amount of a reg bulb ---
sorry went off a bit this Am , but if only selve serving individuals get into office the Country is needing a wake up ,people who parade around like they are involved in politics cause they watched the news ,guess they didn't realize the new channels are owned, as well ,yep your involved and you're an exception ,
