You mean the reduced income they get while putting money into wealthy boomer entitlement pockets, when they are never going to get the same in their retirement? Hmm?

Now you're getting it.

Plan for your own retirement, as many boomers have. Put money in your 401k. Take a part-time job. Sell something on eBay. As long as you are focused on the lollipop you didn't get from mommy government, you are wasting time. What is, IS. All your jealousy, angst and whining aren't going to buy a quart of milk when you retire.

Translation from metaphysical nonsense boomerese:

"Gen-x whiners: shut up and buy me another wine vacation in Napa and a nice camera! It's just the way things are...."

If you were a boomer, I'd say you were like a rapist telling the victim to lie back and enjoy it. I don't find the line of argument the least helpful or persuasive.

You don't deny that the next generation is being treated inequitably. And when one complains of real inequity (thievery) that is hardly whining. But the boomers throw that around to assuage their guilt.
