(16,184 posts)The Boomers didn't steal my generation's future, Wall Street did.
Wall Street, the Moral Majority, the trickle down Reaganites, and the Third Way collaborators sabotaged my generation's access to affordable education, a living wage, and Social Security. Half my life has been spent so far in a time of armed conflict.
That's not the Boomers' fault, or the Greatest Generation's fault, or the millennials' fault. It's the end result of unfettered capitalism and creeping fascism that has been in the works ever since the days of the robber barons, turn of the century American imperialism, and the rise of American religious fundamentalism.
And you know who's to blame for all of that? Wall Street and the politicians they've owned to varying degrees for damn near a century.
But nevermind, let's keep pissing all over each other. It's exactly what the oligarchy has wanted us to do since Day One.
