Morality is dying off with the “greatest generation”.

Would that be the generation the voted for massive Social Security and Medicare entitlements, COLAs and most recently, prescription drug benefits? Theft was immoral last time I checked.

Also a lot of the “Greatest Generation” wanted their “kids to have it better than they had it during the 30’s and 40’s” which lead to the Spoiled generation known as the “Baby Boomers” whom a lot of them turned into little spoiled hippie, if it feels good do it, types of people.

One should not raise their kids to “have it better off than Myself” but they should be raised “to be able to survive and thrive in a cold cruel heartless world that is reality”.

I totally agree with you. I am talking about “traditional” values. They don’t see the aforementioned litany of benefits as theft. Even though some have received more than they paid into SS, they see it as an entitlement.

It’s like saying that the people who got out of the Madoff Ponzi before anyone knew it was a Ponzi are thiefs.
