    No. What they mean is that they became selfish when they owned property or made a decent living and so they were certain that we would, too.

      No. They were right wingers from the beginning, but they thought it was cool to say otherwise.

        It’s difficult to become conservative when you don’t have anything.

        The conservatives need me to be in fear that some other group is going to come and take all my stuff, the problem they have is that the very same conservatives ensured I never had any stuff to take.

        Surely the smart thing for them to have done would be to ensure the world is just as prosperous for the next generation as it was for their generation. That way I would actually have something to fear being lost.
