"Republicans belief in trickle-down economics as the way to induce a robust economy has failed. Reagan started that process while George W. Bush continued it on steroids. Young people can see that hard work does not necessarily make wealth and success anymore. The people sitting on their rear ends moving capital are the ones rewarded. When young people leave college with a large debt load and they hear that a Republican Party wants to leave loan rates that float with the desires of bankers, they understand the party may say they care, but their actions say otherwise.
When young people see austerity measures that, even though publicly debunked, are still the core of the Republican ideology and actions, they understand that the party has no intention in investing in them, even as those who are rewarded today profited by policies youth will be paying for. Young people understand that the income and wealth disparity can be directly attributed to the same policies Republicans continue to push.
When young people see the caricature that characterizes many of the Tea Party rallies and the hate for government these “we the people” groups promote, they become embarrassed for the country that preaches tolerance."
