Why is it that most people tend to be more conservative as they get older?

If you are in your 20's and aren't a liberal, you don't have a heart.

If you are in your 30's and aren't a conservative, you don't have a brain.

If you are in your 40's and haven't become a cynic, you didn't pay attention in your 20's and 30's.

They don't. It's the opposite.

Some do. I got more liberal.

its called getting wiser as you age. Once you understand how the real world works you realize that liberalism is a pathetic pipe dream.

MONEY

As older people accumulate wealth they want to protect what they have and the republican propaganda sounds like they will proectt your wealth.

Not me I have grown more liberal because I see the inherent hypocrisy of conservatism!

They used to claim to be 'compassionate Christians' yet want to cut/eliminate the social safety net designed to help the most vulnerable in our society!

Want to talk about their 'fiscal conservatism' since the beginning of this century?

Bush43 gave a huge tax cuts mostly to the wealthy when he took office. He put us on the road to deficit spending! All the war spending was through special appropriations that added directly to the debt without being reflected in the yearly budget deficit!!!

Life Experience.

They become selfish, greedy and boring

Reality sets in.
