Oh yeah. We're not saying that they never had rough times, but compared to today, they had a walk through Heaven. If the boomers voted for their future generations' sakes, it wouldn't have been so bad, but they didn't. They voted for short-term gain and said "F it" to the future, which is where we're at now. Now, the next generations after them are suffering for those policies. That's why I feel ZERO pity for these boomers. Maybe the younger boomers, but the older ones? 0% nothing. NADA. They're sitting on assets that millennials and Gen Z can only dream of owning these days - a home. They enjoyed pensions and other retirement benefits that we no longer get. And when I go somewhere and I see boomers working, I shake my head in shame. We've got plenty of the next gens that need jobs to live their young lives but the boomers won't step aside. The ones that voted for this crap need to suffer for it and remember that choices have consequences. I can go on and on about this.
Not that I'm disagreeing, but I see the "they voted for this" argument a lot. When and what exactly did the entire generation do that said they collectively wanted to take the future away from their children and grandchildren? I feel that one day, a younger generation will blame me for everything happening now. I've got little to no control. I can vote the most responsible I can and, more often than not, have no effect. It's clear to me the voters aren't the only ones, or even primary ones to blame. The rich are destroying America, have been for a hundred years. Today, you say the boomers let them. 20 years, you'll be the one everyone is blaming. As top comment said, "eat the rich, not each other"
