Mark Levin: "It's My Generation That Has Shredded The Constitution"
MARK LEVIN: I hope you young folks understand that Obama is destroying your future. I hope you young folks understand that this interest rate is quite beside the point. And we have a $90 trillion ticket when it comes to unfunded liabilities and it's increasing anywhere from $4.9 to 6.9 trillion a year. I hope you young folks out there understand that Obamacare soaks you, rips you off, in order to help pay for it.
Obama and his policies are anti-young people.

LEVIN: I've had this discussion before but I think it's necessary to have it again. About the young people in this country, I think we call them millennials. I hate these names that we give to generations. 'Hey, you're the millennials.' 'What's that?' 'Hey, I dunno.' We're in a new century now, we'll just call you 'millennials.' How about we call them younger people?
There's always this talk about the younger generation, upper-teens, college students, young people, young families -- anywhere from about 17 and 18 to about 40, 45. But there is something wrong with them. They're just not as good as with our generation. There is something wrong -- they're too liberal, they're lethargic, they don't embrace American principles.
I started thinking more about this when I watched my son's graduation ceremony at Chapman University. And I noticed another gentlemen over here did the same thing for The Daily Caller. Timothy Philen. I don't know who he is. And what he wrote there -- and we will link to it on my website -- is something that I was thinking about too when I was watching the procession of graduates. I thought to myself, this generation, this younger generation is actually a pretty good generation, all things told.
It's my generation that is doing things to them. It's my generation that is forcing them into liberal indoctrination centers that we call our public school system. It's my generation that has elected politicians -- there's not enough of them to vote, it's our generation, my generation that has elected people from our generation who create these massive yearly deficits and this ballooning debt that will destroy their futures if we don't figure out how to reverse course.
It's not the younger generation, it's our generation that has shredded the Constitution, and generations before us. It's not the 18-year-olds, the 20-year-olds and 30-year-olds. Yes, it's true.
Now, of course, younger people -- attitudes change, values develop, it's maturation. It's normal. But as I say, I watch the precession of young graduates. They were positive, they were hopeful and they worked damn hard to get their degrees.
There is a lot of people out there saying you don't need a college degree. And, frankly, a lot of people don't need a college degree. But why are we trashing people who worked hard in school to get a college degree, even an advanced degree because they want to be doctors, or scientists, or engineers, or whatever. We need them.
It just amazes me. We do everything in this country possible to dumb down our people, to dumb down our society. Through the public school system, through the media, through our politicians. We do everything we possibly can to destroy wealth creation and initiative and free will and motivation. And then we wonder why, we wonder why we don't have enough scientists, we don't have enough doctors, we don't have enough this or that. Because we create the situation.
We wonder why entrepreneurs go overseas -- because we punish them with the highest corporate tax rate on the face of the earth. And then when they pay their taxes, we tell them they haven't paid enough. And then the left says, 'well, we need to import more brain power.' Having done everything they can to drain us of the brain power -- domestic brain power -- whether through indoctrination in public schools and all the rest of it. Now suddenly we have to have open borders to import brain power from other countries?
I got to thinking and I am very, very serious about this. Of course there are examples and anecdotes all over the place, you know, when you watch MTV and suddenly you go 'oh my God.' Okay, great. But as a whole, these folks, 18 to 40, 45, pretty damn good group of people. Considering how we're destroying what's all around them and yes we are. There's not a single 18-year-old or 20-year-old or 24-year-old in Congress. Or in the Oval Office. Or in the federal courts. Or in the cabinet. I want you to think about that. I don't want to get in a big debate about that, but I want you to think about that. (Mark Levin Show, May 31, 2013)
