The Boomer liberals have had a disproportionate level of influence in politics over the last forty year, mainly because they got active young, and stayed active in politics. It hasn't mattered that they have been absolutely wrong on most issues; they have exerted their influence and all of us are living (or dying) with the results.

Conservative Boomers have been much less politically active, and only in the last couple of decades has the addition of younger conservatives kept the socialist hoards from completely plowing us under.

This can change if younger voters become aware of their demographics and their voting potential. The Boomer liberals are desperate, and their behavior in this election cycle clearly shows it. They would like younger voters to stay discouraged, and thereby remain disenfranchized.

Move Over Boomers -- Gen-X And Gen-Y in the Coming Decades

The greatest threat to our economic future is the continued theft of wealth through wage withholding for income tax, social security, and medicare. American products cannot compete globally when one third of all labor costs is required to feed a growing government behemoth. Boomers will resist changing to another form of taxation, and the younger voters are going to have to force-feed it to them.

All that is required is to educate younger voters and get them active in the political process.
