Son on the take spews hate on his prosperous parents
Dear Amy: My wife and I have a son in his mid-20s.
He lives with his girlfriend, and they are both in graduate school.
My wife and I took on debt of our own so he wouldn't have to for college. We also gave him his first car. His grad school is paid for by the school/taxpayers in exchange for him being a teaching assistant.
We continue to cover small expenses, such as his car's EZ Pass, his cellphone, car registration, etc.
His grandmother pays his car insurance and has given him a credit card, which he uses for groceries and dining out. He and his girlfriend generally live pretty well.
My wife and I are upper-middle class people. We have both worked hard for everything we have.
Ever since the 2016 election, my son has espoused far-left viewpoints. I mean really far left, as in we must eat/kill the rich, the wealthy are the enemy of the people, etc.
I have tried to encourage him to try and see the point of view of the other side.
He states that ours is a country full of uneducated people. He seems to feel that he is a victim.
I have pointed out that he is receiving a "free" education, courtesy of the taxpayers, and that he should be grateful.
