Came into it's prime under Reagan and our society still reflect that. Nurtured by daddy reagan they adopted sick anti-society, free market, deficit spending, debt loving ways.

Unfortunately they have occupied power for so long. They've selfishly refused to share and nurture a new generation of leaders.

We're going to have to wait for nature to take it's course and only then will other generations get the chance to learn those roles.

It's the same in politics, academia and maybe a little less so in business.
