Yes. A big part of why so many young men are turning to destructive, amoral, misogynistic, bigoted, selfish, self-absorbed, blame-everyone-else ideologies is because that's what their dads believe in.

Under the House GOP’s budget plan, the lowest-income taxpayers would see a LOSS of $1,125.
The richest 0.1 percent of taxpayers, on the other hand, would see a more than $180,000 GAIN.
This is trickle down economics on steroids.

Jan 20, 1961. A blizzard the day before. Temperatures well below freezing. Without a coat or hat, JFK gave a speech we still quote today. Robert Frost, 86, recited a poem. Steinbeck and Hemingway and Rothko were among the VIPs. A million people gathered in the cold to hear it.
This is the precedent.
