“In 1964 the the old man of the boomer generation had just turned 18, the youngest boomers just turned 3, and they weren’t running anything and wouldn’t be for decades.”
Doesn’t matter. We apparently possessed magical powers that enabled us to control the course of history despite our youth.
Plus all of us evidently inherited a good deal of money while screwing over Generation Whiner.

Since you've completely lost track of the argument, I'll remind you that this whole sidebar was a response to your imbecilic inference that I was communist because I was stating something that you didn't like but couldn't dispute. I then pointed out that the political pendulum which had swung right for GenX had previously swung left for boomers, and that for a member of an essentially pro-communist generation to accuse a member of an essentially anti-communist generation of being a communist wasn't going to work.

Your reading comprehension and your argumentation are probably related deficiencies.
Your failure to do something as simple as to compare a calendar against your fantasy Boomer history is entertaining for everyone who lived through those times.
You made an accusation about political leanings, so I came back with a truth about political leanings. You couldn't respond to the actual post as written and so attempted to make it about voting. Here's a truth: Millennials lean left and love the politics of Obama, but none of Genz and only some of GenY even got to vote for him. I can still write about their expressed political tendencies.
Let me use a metaphor. Imagine a wealthy family patriarch has a son and a grandson. The son is a hippy who reads Marx and espouses leftist ideology. The grandson, contrarily, is a rock-ribbed conservative. The patriarch dies and his estate is passed on to his son, who proceeds to squander it in a futile attempt to create a socialist utopia. The grandson inherits nothing, but the son's creditors haunt him nevertheless, seeking fulfillment of debt he never accrued.
One day, an observer of events asks the grandson why his is impoverished when he comes from wealth. He replies by stating that the son had squandered the fortune. The son, hearing the grandson say this, calls him "comrade" and attempts to suggest that he, the son, is a communist.
Let me ask, does the son's rebuke seem just, fair, or truthful? How should the grandson respond?
