Young people have been invoked over and over during the debate about Social Security, as in, the system is going to be broke by the time they reach retirement age.
A young man from Northern California asked a simple question: “Of every dollar I earn, how much do you think I deserve to keep?”
Bachmann could be heard off camera, “Oh, I love that question.”
