How youth should vote

Apparently young people don't want to vote. Well if there ever was a time for them to start paying attention it's now. It's a fact that Canada takes in less in tax than it spends and makes up the difference by borrowing.

Apparently young people don't want to vote. Well if there ever was a time for them to start paying attention it's now.

It's a fact that Canada takes in less in tax than it spends and makes up the difference by borrowing.

For example, if political leaders says they're going to give more money to seniors, what they're saying is they're going to borrow that money and give it to them.

And then when it's time to pay it back, it's going to be the young people who didn't care about politics who pay it back. This goes for all the parties.

They're all planning on borrowing and spending, so if I was young, and I'm not, I'd vote for the guy that's going to borrow money to spend on me, because I'm the guy who will be paying it back with interest eventually.
