Even better, they're likely baby boomers. Tell them to own up to ruining our country, bankrupting us, and getting us involved in meaningless wars. Yes, they're the largest voting bloc, it's their damn fault.
They are also the largest population that requires medical care. They are the high users of the system.




I'm guessing they're also the largest group of taxpayers. And the group that paid the most in Social Security...yet they won't receive much of it. Not everything is so black and white. It was the corporations that destroyed our country. Though, I agree, the baby boomers had a hand in it, but not entirely.

As for the comment about that generation being the most self entitled...wrong, that's the current generation. The one that most of us are in. Today's generation is too busy yapping on cell phones and worrying about me, me, me, to care about anything important.

Thank you! I've always thought of the baby boomers as a hard working group and without them today's generation would not be able to live the life of luxury and overindulgence.

If you want to point the finger at them, then blame them for enabling today's generation to become privileged, selfish, and spoiled rotten.


BINGO.
I think both generations are spoiled. But the current generation is spoiled because the baby boomers spoiled us to being with. The mindset that you can have whatever you want even if you can't really afford it has been passed on. As for the "Me Me Me" mentality, i believe that came about because baby boomer parents made the current generation feel that way, because if they weren't focusing on themselves they were spoiling their children. It is this exact passed on mentality that is putting the American economy into ruins.

I just want baby-boomers to back off. They're the ones with the money who don't necessarily have to worry about whether or not we have nationalized health care because they already have health care. I for one am concerned because even though i, and many others, am doing everything "right" (ie, working, going to college, eventually going to grad school) will probably struggle in getting a job that provides me with affordable health care.
