“Baby Boomers: they grew up little Marxists in the 60’s thinking the world owes them everything because mommy and daddy handed them everything.”

Since everyone else is attacking you, I figure that I should give you some support. First, for the above sentence, rather than reacting instinctively and telling you to burn in hell, I think what you’re saying is that a good chunk of the baby-boom generation are spoiled brats - they are the ones that protest EVERYTHING, and now they are the ones in the White House, controlling education, media, and just about everything else. Your generalization is not far off, at all.

“So now they’re going to tax their kids to make up the shortfall of their Socialist theories.”

If only that were the case. No, instead they are going to tax MY kids and (future) grand kids. They feel they are ENTITLED to this money, just because their generation screwed up in who they elected. They cannot get it through their heads that THE MONEY IS GONE. What should be a pot of money at the federal level is instead a HUGE DEBT and even larger future obligation. The only people that they can hope to pay for it are MY KIDS and that doesn’t bother them ONE BIT.

“Don’t worry: most will vote Obama the next election.”

Young people have and will ALWAYS vote stupid. Having an 18 year old voting age is STUPID, and is killing us. However, oldies do not get a free ride, because FAR TOO MANY of them voted for Obama - had they voted correctly, Obama would have never come close to be elected, as they would have more than made up for the kids - as they have in many, many past elections.

One comment on our war veterans that don’t like being called commies. Well, I judge a person by how they act THROUGHOUT their life, not just what they do when their young. I have an uncle who fought hard in WW2, but now he’s a flaming liberal and, like many of the boomers, is doing his best to wreck future generations in this country. Is he a commie - well, people do change and my uncle certainly did.

.........just because their generation screwed up in who they elected. Well, I am 49 which puts me at the tail end of the Boomers. Not sure what generation you are, a X'er or an echo boomer, but I regret to inform you that your generation is here and evidently old enough to vote. Which makes your generation as responsible as any for screwing up who gets elected. Speakin' of generations responsible.. how 'bout that Great Generation giving us that socialist snake oil salesman fdr in the first place. I think playing the spoiled brat of an x'er or echo boomer is not needed as there is plenty of responsibility on who gets elected to spread around. As far as those who feel "entitled". I sure hope you do not drive on the interstate or buy anything transported on them. After all.. "your" generation did not pay for them.
