The author no doubt will want to cut off our Social Security and Medicare because our entire generation is nothing but a bunch of entitled hippies or some other perjorative.
None of us ever fought in this country's wars or marched to end them. None of us ever joined the Peace Corps or became a public school teacher. Didn't ever get vilified as tree huggers or clean the oil off a dying bird. Surely none of us loaded newspapers and cans into our cars for all those trips to the recycling center until the state finally realized it was an idea whose time had come.
None of us had job after job outsourced, or our pensions stolen and our 401Ks devalued to penny stocks and junk bonds. None of us were foreclosed on. None of us were whipsawed by propaganda from the MSM and other formerly trusted sources.
I want to slap that little punk silly, but instead of resorting to violence or a pity party, let me just point out the author's vast blindness and who it serves: the endless greed of the 1% and the elected officials who serve them rather than serving the common good. Socio-economic class plays a much larger part in our woes than does any generational divide --- and "divide and conquer" still works like a charm.
