there are a lot of good babyboomers. but there are a lot more piss poor entitlement babyboomers.

Entitlement? LOL!

Here is your comment: "Selfish Babyboomers"

Then I point out to you my non-boomer folks bought their first home brand new, buying a bucks worth of regular gas as they serviced his car, their jobs back then were almost totally secure, with medical benefits, most with generous pensions, etc. All this and Mom NEVER had to work.

All this, new home, rasing a family of 5 to boot, all on one ONE income.

And you call the kids of that generation selfish?

Please!

You keep trying to refute the idea of selfish babyboomers with the fact that your non-boomer parents worked for everything. Had he said selfish boomer parents, it would make sense. Just because parents aren’t selfish and hard working doesn’t mean the kids are the same.

Too, it was a whole lot of those greatest generation parents who enacted welfare. Go further back and you have social security. Go even further to get income tax.

If both parents have to work now, it’s not because of this generation, it’s because of the previous ones. Now we have a boomer president who pushed for a drug entitlement which will mean even less financial freedom for our kids.

Not all boomers are problems, just as not every person of any particular age is. It’s just that “boomers” has become synonymous with the dirty stinking leftist hippie. The reason for that is the very vocal hippie who hasn’t grown out of being a hippie, and is doing all they can to remain immature. They constantly pine for the “glory days” of being a dirty stinking leftist hippie, basically upset that they’ve aged. If you’re not a dirty stinking leftist hippie, you shouldn’t be upset. 8-D
