If I were older I probably wouldn't give a rats ass either.
Being 48 and with 3 kids between 11th & 6th grade I have to pay attention as hopefully I have another 30-40 years to go.
Bingo. My boys are ages 6, 2, and 1. This election will have real consequences on my ability to provide for them the way I want (and to pay for college), and on their ability to have the chance to get off to a good start when they go out on their own, and on my ability to retire comfortably.

Sometimes (often) I really wish I was born in my Dad's generation...spend 35 years with 1 company; wife not expected to have to work; pension in retirement; housing, healthcare, and college SO MUCH less expensive relative to income than today.
