I don't drink, I don't go clubbing, I'm working, I drive and pay for my car myself, I pay for my food, I pay for my clothes, I pay towards the bills in my home with my parents, If I want anything I buy it myself, I redecorated my bedroom-I bought ALL of the supplies and did it myself, I volunteer and I pay to charties, I pay my own phone bill and I bought my own comuter.
AND i pay 42% tax from my earnings.
So why do you think you have the right to assume that just because I'm 19, I'm living off your tax money?';older'; people think they can assume that all young people (more of a rant than a q)?
what gives you the right to assume that all older people moan about scrounging teenage yobs? Even you have got to admit that you are in the minority';older'; people think they can assume that all young people (more of a rant than a q)?
Good for you, but you are definitely in the minority. When people say things like that they are generalising and don't literally mean every young person, ignore them and be happy in the knowledge you are self supporting. You must be on a good wage to be paying 42% tax and you will probably find yourself moaning about scroungers in the future.
Are you British? The ';42 percent'; suggests that. If so, that's because you live in a socialist nation. I've never heard an older person in the United States say that young people were living off taxes. (PS: Our highest tax rate is 33 percent, and very few people actually pay that much -- in fact, 40 percent of Americans pay no taxes at all.)
Can i adopt you? you sound a lot more economical then my 18yr lol...although i'm not moaning about her as she is always working, pays her way on her car etc and is very generous with her sister.
Just like the stereotype you are talking about the same applies to us 'older' folk, we do not all think like that :)
My age group 43, tend to moan about oaps, they are so rude, push and shove lol........so guess nothing really changes ;)
I counter with why do all ';younger'; people assume as you seem to.
I take people, irrespective of their age, as I find them and I never assume that all young people live off the state. Just as I never assume that all middle aged or older people do.
Kudos to you, but why do you pay 42%? That's high, especially for someone who donates to charities.
(and you're not living off my tax money... thanks to some nifty moves on my part, I will pay zero to the US government this year)
You are a good teen. But you are one in the majority. Yes, there a few out there very responsible. I will apologize for all of the old folks.
Why are you making that assumption? And are you waiting for a medal?
There is more to this story than what you are telling us.
There is always TWO sides.
i dont think its ALL
just a lot
hurray for you
As an 'older person', I can say with hand on heart that your statement does not apply to me .....regarding 'assumptions' of this nature.
On the other hand (and again not in your case), the appallingly badly written questions, the ignorance, the incredible spellings and the stupidity that gets written and asked on here makes me want for the money taken from me in taxes that supposedly have been spent on 'education', I'd like it back.
Attempts at Education have manifestly failed, and I think I'm entitled to a reimbursement under the heading of 'Not Fit for Purpose' ~ or The Sale of Goods act, as I was conned into parting with it.
Sash.
Im with you on this it really winds me up too, Im now 28 so kind of with the old category now but I have worked 2 jobs since being 18 worked full time in office and in a pub 4 nights a week for extra cash to pay for the things I wanted like cars, I have never claimed any DSS in my life, BUT however there are alot of bums out there that won't get a job and they are not all young some are old too, but they go for the disability benefits pretending they are depressed or something, I wish I worked for benefits Id stop every-ones benefits and get them all back to work. But the old people think that all Young'sones are ignorant so they are ignorant in return and never realise how nice some are too.
