The Hill -Two-thirds of young Democrats in a new poll say they are concerned with the moral direction of the U.S. The survey from Harvard’s Institute of Politics found that 66 percent of young Democrats, classified as 18- to 29-year-olds, shared the concern. By comparison, 42 percent of respondents said they were worried about the country’s moral direction in 2015.
ReplyDeleteConcern about the “Moral” direction of our country. Meaning what, exactly?
Political: Honesty? Transparency? Responsibility toward Citizens vs. Corporations' Greed? War? Voter issues like gerrymandering or not being allowed to vote? Or possibly a more pointed comment about our President's behavior with women.
Religious: “Morality” Like Thou Shalt Not Kill – regarding War? Or maybe a tangential Pro-Life, only concerning Abortion? Or maybe the morality of Pro-Choice concerning a woman's personal choice? Or maybe about LGBTQ issues? Or what about Separation of Church and State issue?
Economic: If there is such a thing a “economic morality”? It seems those with all the money seem to make the Laws concerning who is given most Profits, Tax-Breaks, Deductions, High/Lower Interest Rates, etc. I suppose Economic Morality could include Labor Relations, Healthcare, etc. or maybe simply the quest for an 'independent' government that doesn't owe is soul to corporations.
