Younger folks, ready to be truly productive in factories, will find a way to dispose of government/services Baby Boomers, rich from government incomes/revenues, who aren’t self-sufficient or productive. And I’m a Baby Boomer. We’re the Useless, Thieving, Lying, Vain Generation. Oh, and did I say mouthy? More of my peers are mouthy, too. Except for my peers who are prior military service (like me, not really Baby Boomers at heart), my Baby Boomer peers also comprise the most cowardly generation.
[I recently quit smoking and started enjoying the extra grouchiness on top of becoming an old man. Deal with it.]
Guilt trip much?
I’m a boomer, vintage 7/46. My wife finds me pretty useful. I don’t steal, I don’t lie, as a rule, and I’m bald and overweight so vanity’s right out. I do tend to get a little mouthy with liberal idiots, that I do admit.
I’m a Vietnam combat vet. No medals but also, no PTSD, either. I did my time, came home and picked up where I left off without whining. My company had a pension plan once but decided to end it, and 9-11 and the latest recession have left my 401K in ruins. My wife of 44 years and I are getting by as best we can in retirement and ask for no more than that the promises our government made to us be honored. And if the bastards think they’re going to grind us down in our old age without a fight, they will find out I’m no coward, either, because I fully intend to take a few of them with me.
Boomer Power!!
