My generation, which is just turning 50, is hard-charging, hard working and wants those younger people to get off their butts and TRY to work as long and as hard as we will...
That is kinda hard to do when many of these children come from drug-addicted, broken, abusive families (ya know that sexual revolution thing you guys so greatly gave us)....alot of these kids don't know how to be an adult....never had anyone to teach them..
It would also have helped if half of our generation had not been aborted.
I am ten years your junior and would just love to compare hours worked per week. Heck, I'd even want to compare hours worked to date since birth!
I want nothing from the government but to be left alone to pursue happiness as I define it. I do not believe it is my civic or moral duty to prop up the welfare state or its many clients.
no, your generation, which is just turning 50 are die hard union members who have screwed every company in american and has furthered the spreed of socialism in america.
this in not a flame at you but it is the truth about your generation.
I'm in your generation and you are lying to yourself if you think that more than 25% of boomers have your or my work ethic.
Most of them are lazy liberals, RINO's or apolitical. Only the rich lib's among that type (inheritied daddy's money, most likely) will be close to self sufficient in retirement.
Those of us who earned our money and will be self sufficient are very far and few between.
I know that I will never see a company pension or social security. My whole retirement is based on three things:
My 401k
My house paid for
Personnel Investments
& I plan to retire in comfort.
