To: a fool in paradise

I don’t blame baby-boomers for consumption - I blame them instead for giving us soft-statist-socialist culture and destroying any knowledge of and respect for the American Republic.

No, I would blame the New Deal and the Great Society for doing that. Guess who supported those programs? Hint: It wasn't the boomers.

And the delights of moral equivalence where innocents are just as guilty as the bad who cause trouble for them.

I blame them for expecting the younger generation to grow up sooner so they can hand over the reins of responsibility sooner.

Boomers didn't give us those things, libtards and their sheep did. While there are boomers among them, many of us aren't... casting us all in the same mold is pretty ignorant, IMHO

Here is where I am as well. My only problem with the Boomers stems from, I believe, the upbringing by their parents. I think the social and cultural shift that Boomers brought on in the 60s and 70s greatly influenced the government culture we have today.

The Boomers, with pensions, SS, Medicare, Medicaid, etc. are by and large well funded for retirement. Today, we don't do pensions and SS will not be there for Gen-X let alone my children.
