Liberty's Lost Generation

Are Millennials the least freedom-loving generation in American history? It sometimes looks that way. They’re the original Occupiers of Wall Street, the Bernie Bros, and the first generation since the start of the Cold War to decide in large numbers that socialism might actually be good. It’s true that a fair number warmed to Ron Paul way back in the Tea Party days, but that moment passed quickly. Millennials today just seem to want free everything: health care, childcare, college. They famously value teamwork over personal excellence, job security over opportunity, equality over innovation.
