      That’s a limerick conservative parents tell themselves to feel better about their rebellious kids.

      And not what I’m talking about at all.

        Honestly, it had more validity behind it in the '80s. When you were just starting out your career you didn’t have a house yet you didn’t have any wealth amassed, The ideals of the left really shown through. But once you got older and started having some money, the fiscal Republican ticket sold you on tax cuts and provided boosts to help certain investment opportunities. It was still mostly just bullshit to make themselves rich but there was some financial opportunity there. It’s pretty much long gone for middle-class advantage anymore though.
