Anyone who wants to call us so-called "rich" baby boomers 'selfish, self-centered, etc.' better watch their mouths around me!

Why?

Not everyone is the same.

That is something most people forget in their myopia and anger.

Please calm down and look at what you're saying.

Not everyone is the same.

My thoughts exactly. There are many BB who are hard-working, good parents, and living decent lives and paying their bills as well as paying taxes and ss.

There are also many "old geezers" whose homes have become refuges for their adult children who are divorced (often w/children of their own), or who are unemployed and can't afford rent/food/etc., or who have dumped THEIR child/children (often "illegitimate") and left grandparents to raise a second generation of children, or who are "helping out" w/ their own children's "economic shortfalls" or w/their grandchildren's college expenses.

Painting either generation w/a broad brush is both inaccurate and dishonorable.
