We are willing to make this sacrifice because we are the last of the great generations who built this country. Who do you think brought you civil rights, voting rights, equal opportunity, workplace safety, environmental controls, etc.? Who was out there in the streets during the sixties and seventies demanding these things? It was the boomer. Yes we made mistakes, yes many became pussified as they aged, yes many became part of the establishment they so hated, yes we fucked up the educational system with radical leftism, yes we fucked up the financial system with too much deregulation and on and on, but we did these things wanting the best for future generations. What most of us know is that none of us in such small numbers is worth sacrificing tens of millions to a world of poverty and despair. We would like to leave them with the same opportunities we had to do some good, make their mistakes as we did, but do it free and prosperous which will be impossible if we stay on the current path.
boomers thinking they're part of the greatest generation..haha
