http://current.tv/video/?id=1765747 I think this is a decent video presenting the views of young Iranians, many of whom voted for Ahmadinejad. The fact is that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad became Iran's president because he was able to win a majority (an overwhelming majority) of votes from young Iranians. Indeed, to the extent there was a demographic age gap in Iran's presidential vote, it clearly favored Ahmadinejad. That fact is implicitly clear in this video but I like to explain it further, especially for those who want to pretend that Ahmadinejad is somehow opposed by "young people" in Iran. In Iran's elections, the upper middle class and rich either didn't vote or otherwise mostly voted against Ahmadinejad. Among them, the old rich and the old upper middle class are the ones least likely to vote, while the new rich and new upper middle class includes some who might have voted for Rafsanjani. Regardless, while their children might have followed their parents in terms of their voting preferences, not too many young people in Iran are otherwise on their own upper middle class or rich. Economic issues affect young people in Iran more than anyone else. The middle class also included many who didn't vote, but among those who voted, the vote was split with as many voting for Ahmadinejad than otherwise. Indeed, because of nationalism as well as the dislike of his opponent (Rafsanjani), the fact is that in the runoff Ahmadinejad even won the middle class vote easily -- albeit with a slighter margin than his overall tally. The lower middle class and poor voted overwhelmingly for Ahmadinejad and his support among them, as well as many young Iranians in the middle class, is if anything more solid now then before. That category includes most of Iran's young people, who make up the bulk of the unemployed and are the ones mostly earning the low minimum age entry jobs that are often falsely represented as the average income in Iran. I should note the following as well. Regardless of the propaganda, while the business elite are complaining, Ahmadinejad has taken measures to disburse Iran's growing oil income among lower class folks. Minimum retirement pay was increased to around $250 a month; annual New Year bonuses to workers and government employees were nearly doubled; various loans for low income people have been created; while young people are now offered various grants and loans to start a family. At the same time, on a province by province basis, the government is selling off state industries and giving the shares to the public. In 4 smaller provinces where these policies are being pursued, that kind of distribution has netted more than $1,000 in shares to residents in those provinces.
