I've heard the arguments. I've considered myself a conservative Republican and believed in those things that Lopez is talking about. But I'm discouraged because I haven't seen the market operate in what I consider to be a fair, open and competitive manner. I've always felt regulation was bad, but have come to the conclusion that sometimes it's necessary. I think age has a lot to do with it.
Opportunities are absolutely better today.
I also think the younger generation is a lot more independent. They're big risk takers and, quite frankly, a lot of us didn't grow up surrounded by the notion of victimization. We don't feel constrained to think about things the way people expect us to. It makes us more resilient in terms of setting our own paths and being more aggressive about reaching our goals. Inc.
