I'll see how I feel when I get old. Old people I grew up around told me I'll vote Republican because I'll be smarter then and be paying real taxes.

I'll post back in this thread in 50 or so years with my update.

On my 35th birthday I declared I was old. I'd been paying taxes for over a decade, working a full time rigorous job, had my own place on my own, manage my own stock portfolio and have several months of pay ready for emergencies in a savings account, but nope. Apparently I still have yet to grow up, and it's only a matter of time before I wake up and realize I should vote Republican.

At least that's what I was told by bf's childhood friend who makes 6 figures doing something so unimportant that he just drinks beers on the beach all day and rides his Harleys across the state on a whim. He's over 50 and living like a teenage dropout. But he's the grown up.

I don't wish to take away my parents right to vote, but I wish there was a better way to engage the voting elderly in the younger part of the community so they get a better view of what young adults are really up against, rather than just relying on Fox News.
