Good-NESS! It's tripe like this that is what makes the X-ers hate the Boomers so much! This really shows them for the selfish, greedy group that they are. Holding up half the sky? This generation did more damage to society than the three or four generations before them, and if Gen X is having problems fixing some of their messes it's because we were raised by these idiots. I know that the writer doesn't speak for every Boomer, but this is the face that the world sees, and it's what the world will remember.
I got the impression this was written somewhat tongue-in-cheek.
Horsecrap.
We didn't invent the income tax.
We didn't invent socialist security.
We didn't invent the "Great Society".
We didn't start wars in Korea and Viet Nam - and in the latter piss away 50,000 lives for NOTHING.
Walter Cronkite and his other socialistic pimp cronies aren't from our generation.
If you're an X'er born in 1965, you're FORTY now. Exactly what have you done to right wrongs in America ?
Meanwhile Boomers have paid taxes out the rear end to support welfare parasites (fostered by the "Greatest Generation") and the other socialist schemes passed by the Greatest Generation.
Beating up on the Boomers may make you feel good, but it's ignorant.
