No Senator Jackson, a job is not a lolipop

California's job-killing AB5 is hurting young people the most.  Young people are more likely to be part of the gig economy and those that are in the gig economy like their work.  42 percent of Americans between 18 and 34 are freelancers in some form.  This is a higher percentage than for the workforce as a whole.  61 percent of freelancers like their work and freelancing is great source of satisfaction and income to those who do.  

The Democratic party is taking these opportunities away from young people.  Young Americans should be outraged that their freedom to pursue their dreams are being taken away by a party that is controlled by union bosses.

And most galling of all should be the utter condescension that the Democratic party has for Americans that want the opportunities and freedom provided by the gig economy.  Senator Hanna-Beth Jackson is just the latest example.    

Californian independent contractors and freelancers got quite a shock Thursday evening when a state senator compared lost jobs to “lollipops.”

Senator Jackson is doing what Democrats do best--towing the line for their public sector union overbosses.  If that means sacrificing the opportunities of young people in a time of high unemployment so be it.  

Young people should start voting in line with their economic interests and dump the Democrat party.  A good start would be Senator Jackson.
