Baby boomers Ruined America: Why Blaming Millennials is Misguided — and Annoying

[SoCalDem]

14. You are a generation off..

Parents of Boomers took and took and took and retired with pensions and social security//
once "they had it all", they pulled the ladder up behind them, and voted against their own progeny's future..

Older folks have always voted more than younger ones, and even though there were more of us, they were the "bosses of us all", and they made damned sure that the bonuses that they all readily accepted, were not going to be available to anyone after them.

It was no accident that just as boomers got their families/careers started, WE were the ones who had our FICA doubled to make sure our elders had a secure retirement and we were PREPAYING for our own.

Of course, in OUR working careers, we mostly had unions/pensions eliminated so all we could hope for was to try and save for ourselves.

And since our own kids could not afford college, we also were expected to save for that too..and of course we still have to help our elderly parents.. The boomers are the squeezed generation...

No one here in the USA (except for a few lucky ones) will ever have an easy time of it..
