Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance delivered an impassioned message to students at High Point University, North Carolina, during a town hall meeting on Thursday, urging them to be “pissed off” about the economic challenges facing their generation. In his speech, Vance highlighted the unprecedented difficulties young Americans face today, especially in owning homes and achieving financial stability.

Set the tone: “You should be pissed”

‘You should be angry’ Vance declared, setting the tone for a rallying cry aimed at the audience of students. He elaborated on the reasons for their anger, emphasizing that they represent the first generation in American history to face the bleak prospect of not being able to buy homes or earn a living wage sufficient to support families .

Economic frustration rooted in home ownership and wages

‘And why should you be angry? You should be pissed off because you’re the first generation in the history of the United States of America that probably won’t be able to own a home, that probably won’t be able to earn a wage that will allow you to raise a family. stated Vance.

“You’re more likely to be in debt than to build wealth,” he added.

Rising costs and the burden of student debt

By focusing on economic issues, Vance addressed pressing issues such as the rising cost of living and the burden of tuition debt. He underlined how these factors contribute to a bleak financial outlook for young people, who are increasingly feeling the weight of financial insecurity.

Vance encouraged students to actively participate in the political process and emphasized that their voices matter. “We can make a different policy choice, but only if you get angry about the position you have been put in and vote for a change in leadership,” he urged, advocating a more proactive approach to civic engagement among young voters. .
