We're enslaving our children, or worse, allowing them to be enslaved. Worse because if it's us, we can let them go when we come to our senses and stop cowering from the truth, but when we allow them to be enslaved we'll have to fight, and most of us are unprepared for that.

This is a simple and easily understood part of that enslavement:

...we're taxing our children big-time; that's what the huge deficit is. We're ignoring major environmental catastrophes on the horizon. And the take-home pay of the American worker is the smallest share of the national economy since 1929, which indicates that economic growth is now disconnected from the economic well being of the majority of American workers.
