Yes I understand now that is an article (I didn't see the link intially but will check it out) however if you were a millennial and you read that title how would you not say that it's a very broad phrase to say "dear millennial" without some type of qualifier such as "dear millennials: Some of you love socialism...." to paint brush every millennial as a socialist is wrong. It is a trend the idiots in the media catering to sanders love to say "oh millenials love bernie" well this one (me) does not. No ill feelings towards you 
Just try to read the title of the OP and put your age group/name of decade in place of millennials...it sounds too broad like every millennial is a socialist which again is not true. That's all I'm saying

CLEARLY you are a "spoiled millennial"! You have money to pay YOUR OWN bills.......how spoiled is that? Using your money to pay your bills and not the bills of others. You got married........!!! Egad! Spoiled rotten! Raising kids? A serious intervention is awaiting you. Daring to actually raise your OWN kids. Finished your educational goals? Spoiled, spoiled, spoiled millennial selfish brat! Shame on you!

Can't speak for coby2, however, I also believe the Republican Party suffers because they do not address/pay attention to the various Social Issues that face our Nation.
1) The Homeless.
2) Veterans.
3) The Mentally Ill.
4) The Poor.
5) In Country Illegals.
6) Public Education System.
7) Health Care.
8) Abortion.
9) Church v. State.
10) Drug Legalization/Abuse.
(these are some of the issues that the Republican Party does not address in any viable way in my opinion.

Healthcare for everyone, money for people who can't work, that people don't become homeless when they loose their job etc. Not abortion, anti Israel, drug legalisation and all that evil stuff. Now you have to choose between two evils. It's either the 'christian' party that doesn't care about the poor or the socialists who are social but have all that other evil stuff.

Dear Millennials: Your Love of Socialism Could be America’s Downfall…

Dear young adults in figurative diapers,
Being an adult can be a major drag. We have to get jobs. Pay bills. Pay taxes. Make our own appointments. Go to bed early so we can get up early and shuffle on to work the next morning so we can pay for all the stuff we need to continue working. Also the refrigerator doesn’t magically fill itself. Someone should tell Whirlpool about that. Have you noticed that in order for food to be prepared… you have to prepare it? Ridiculous. I’m calling my mom.

My teens and early twenties coincided with the 1960s. During that period I had extreme left wing beliefs. I protested about Vietnam, had a Che Guevara Poster on my bedroom wall and owned an English translation of the thoughts of Chairman Mao. I am no longer that person. As we go through life and gain experience our view of the world undergoes many changes. One thing we should all avoid is to steriotype a certain age group. We are all individuals but at different stages in lifes journey.
If you want to increase jobs, which will increase consumers and help the economy:
1. Lower taxes for companies.
2. Eliminate the freebies companies have to give out to their current employees.
3. Make it more economical for companies to hire on new employees rather than increase their current employees' overtime. This could be done by increasing overtime to 2-3x regular pay instead of the current time-and-a-half.
As an optional one when companies start lowering the minimum amount of pay they pay their employees in response to point #3, you could do the following:
1. Increase minimum wage.
2. Reduce the gap between their highest paid employees and their lowest paid employees.

1. General Electric paid no taxes. Many oil companies pay little or no taxes. The list goes on. A fair tax with no loop holes is far more appropriate. Also a more liberal use of import tariffs on foreign products that are also made in the US.
2. This is called creative salaries. They are given out as bonuses that minimize taxes on the employee. A fair tax for employees with no loopholes will solve this problem. It would also do a lot to ensure that the highest income people actually pay their "fair share"
3. Replace Obamacare with a single payer Healthcare system will do much more than changing overtime rules. Overtime exception rules need to be overhauled. Far too many people are excepted from overtime.
Option 1. A minimum wage indexed to inflation is appropriate. States should have the freedom increase their rates.
Option 2. Allow employees to sue company leadership when the leadership runs the company into the ground.
I would add a point 4. Tax all assets transferred overseas at 75%, and tax companies who move a plant overseas at 75%.
