As one Freeper frequently says, “Not this s**t again!” Most of the boomers I know are conservatives and always have been. They went to school, got jobs, got married, had families, and are trying to survive as this administration is destroying the country. Boomers are the ones funding the retirement of the current crop of oldsters. The boomers will be the first generation to get less out of the gov’t’s ponzi schemes than they paid in.

I get really tired of people trying to lump everyone of a particular age group together under a bogus generational label. It is no different from saying all blacks are the same or all women are the same or any other group. There is as much variation among boomers as there is in the general population. These generational labels and divides are odious. Government is what pits groups against each other. If we had more freedom and less government, then maybe we could live together cooperatively and stop the accusations and name-calling.

“I get really tired of people trying to lump everyone of a particular age group together under a bogus generational label. “

It makes them feel as if they’re ‘victims’ of some nefarious scheme and consequently, nothing is their fault. It’s kind of like the whole ‘white man keeping the black man down’ crap I’ve been hearing for 40 years.

So far the only thing I’ve gotten from the government is a yearly tax bill. Oh wait, I got the GI bill too.
