I grew up hearing that from my parents and grandparents. That and a bunch of other platitudes about staying in school, how anybody can grow up and be president, that the government is by the people and for the people, that hard work is always rewarded, that my boss knows whats best and will treat me fair if I work hard. Of course, these are the same people that now tell me that I am an entitled brat for wanting a fair wage for my labor. That the government does not owe me anything. And that AOC is just a waitress who has no business in politics.
