Naturally, the entire philosophy of being a Democrat is to believe someone else is responsible for you.
This trend applies to car payments and housing as well. More than one in 10 (13%) of Republicans think you should be able to pay for a car without your parents help before your 18th birthday, compared to just 4% of Democrats. And while just 1% of Democrats and Republicans expect people to pay for their housing themselves before 18, once they hit 18 it’s a different story: 17% of Republicans think that people should be able to pay for their housing without parental help at ages 18 or 19, while just 10% of Democrats feel the same.
Democrats are cool with mooching off their parents far longer than Republicans
My parents would give money to poor kids in South America, but wouldn't their own kids...I was told at 14 if I wanted anything I had to work for it, so I did.. I got a job working all weekend at a restaurant..I also told my kids the same thing, only to have my parents give them anything they ask for..
I never got an allowance,if I wanted money I had to work for it.
The percentage from both sides is pathetic.
No one I knew growing up thought that way,we couldnt wait to get a job and get out of the parents house.
