The WWII generation may have a legitimate claim at SS as they fought against Hitler and the such. But what did the Baby Boomers do? Help bring us what their parents fought against. I don't want to pay for them, and I especially don't want my kids paying for them. BTW I'm on the tail end of the BB generation.

Come on now, Shouldn't the baby boomers get paid just because once they got in power they made our educational system the best in the world.

And hell the WWII just fought in a war and the Xers just brought computers into the mainstream, It was the Baby boomers who really made an positive impact on the world by becoming lawyers. Hitler and Tojo that the WWII generation defended us against were pussycats, It's evil corporations like Mcdonalds that makes their coffee to hot which I might spill on myself that's the real danger and lucky we have boomer lawyers to stop that. 

If it weren't for all the Health and Safety regulations passed by enlightened Boomer politicians I don't even know how I could get out of bed

Some of our friends, who are in that generation, gave a slight sneer everytime we mentioned that we're having baby. We have 3 and most of them have 1 or even none. I do mention that our kids will be paying their SS. Plus I mention that if America can allow 1,000,000+ immigrants a year into this country, our few aren't going to matter. It's going to be real hard to be sympathetic to their needs in their old age.
