Are we getting more stupid?

[Marks]

Yes, we are much less intelligent than ever. And it's thanks to the government. They take away personal responsibility by providing free health care (Canada, Europe, not so much America) and social programs (welfare, SS, etc.)...and they've made it harder than ever to succeed in business thanks to overregulation, overtaxation and destroying the economy.

This generation:
+ Social programs
+ Medical care
+ Sense of entitlement
+ Regulations
+ Taxation
+ Education (number of degrees, not intelligence)
+ Spying on internet use, phone calls, texts, emails, etc.
+ Patriot Act
+ Blind faith in government (George Washington and the boys would think everyone today is a pussy)
+ Debt
+ Inflation
- Value of your savings (just re-stating inflation)
- Value of a degree (more people getting them lowers the value of having one)
- Personal responsibility
- Likelihood of succeeding in business
- Personal freedom/liberty


All of this has lead to the shittiest generation in history. I wish I was alive in the 1950's, or better yet the 1870's before governments became greedy whores and you actually had personal freedom.
