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

[whathehell]

16. As compared to where?

America was never perfect -- Unfortunately, neither was anywhere else.

Your post sounds bitter and rather racist, frankly -- Would you have preferred

a Rich Black asshole like Herman Caine, or Alan Keyes, or some other Black conservative?

Whatever your antagonism toward "rich" and/or "white" people, you should know that

the eight RICHEST zip codes in this country voted for OBAMA in 2012.

Assholes come in every color & and while I agree that MANY, if not most rich people,

in the current time, at least, are selfish Republicans, history -- not to mention

the very recent "history" of the 2012 elections -- proves there are IMPORTANT exceptions.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt -- Rich, White, Disabled and decidedly FOR the people, again, not perfect, but responsible for GREAT things in this country -- So much NOT an "asshole" that he hated, and called "A traitor to his class" by the rich people he grew up with.

He is responsible for setting up, for the first time, a social safety net for Americans, with Social Security, setting the stage for Medicare, Medicaid, Unemployment insurance and the rest. Last but NOT least, he set up the National Labor Relations Board which gave average working people the LEGAL right to organize and collectively bargain for higher wages, the 5 day work week (!) and safe working conditions.

Try JFK, RFK and the decidedly Non-Rich LBJ, who put their presidential muscle behind the Civil Rights struggles of the Sixties.

Painting with a broad brush is always wrong -- whether it comes to races or income groups.
