Baby boomers have to die off so society can progress

[achilles28]

Well, you say "Boomers are evil, greedy, SOBs"

I'm saying they're not... they are just sheeple like the other generations. Boomers will have a big negative impact on social service costs because of their size. But let's not forget the Boomers were heralded for the growth in the economy they caused and the taxes they paid... by far the MOST of any generation.

I've heard of Boomers saying, "I'd rather cut my benefits(support) than charge it to my kids and grandkids". Well of course, THAT'S WHAT'S NEEDED. So either a majority of Boomers have to volunteer to have their benefits cut, or it must be done by politicians in law. How do you think this plays out? My view is that NOTHING IS DONE until crisis forces some resolution. And it still ain't the Boomer's fault!



If you want to lay blame, LOOK TO THE POLITICIANS!!

(Think about it. Aren't nearly ALL of the major problems in America CAUSED BY GREEDY, SELF-SERVING, POWER-HUNGRY, SOB POLITICIANS?)

So voters aren't responsible for the leaders they elect to office....ok... sure...

How can they be responsible? First, voters for the most part are ignorant... they mostly vote the same as their mommies told them. Second, they're given a hand-picked choice between a Giant Douche and a Turd Sandwich. What would you expect?

80's onward was a gigantic credit bubble, dummy. Outsourcing started in the late 70's. Another stroke of genius. The consequential bubble-bust economy was the net result of Americas deindustrialization and it's replacement with endless debt-fueled asset bubbles. You erroneously call this "wealth".

My generation is waking up. Sure, there's plenty of brain dead Obama trolls amongst our ranks. But the entire Libertarian/Tea Party resurgence was founded by the 20-35 crowd, who are Ron Paul Constitutional Conservatives. Boomers were late to that one too. Surprise surprise. Republican Boomers are mostly trashbag neocons who are just as worthless as the Communists on the Left. I never voted for Mittens or Obama, or Bush or Kerry. I bet you did. I bet you voted for establishment hacks for the past 40 years. Cause you're a sucker. Who did you vote for? I bet you'll never answer that because I'm right that you're a sucker.

Until 1988 I did not vote. Couldn't have cared less about voting or much of anything else. Called myself a democrat but only because I hated Nixon and liberal chicks were more fun at the time. Lost years for me. Probably should have died a dozen times. Felt like dying a thousand times. Tragic story, blah, blah.
1988- Bush
1992- Perot
1996 - Perot even though he withdrew
2000- Buchanan even though he withdrew
2004 - Did not vote
2008 - Paul even though he withdrew
2012 - Wasted a vote on Romney in the hope he could beat Obama, who by far is the worst thing to have ever happened to this country. Last gasp.
2016 - Isn't anyone making me warm and fuzzy. Country is pretty much lost at this point regardless.
