Reply #126: Respectfully, that's total crap

The only dividing and conquering going on here was when your generation (assuming you are a part of it) divided the future from any hope of prosperity.

Again and again I have listed the carnage, and in your defense you have listed nothing. Why? Because that's the hallmark of your generation. You didn't build it, and you couldn't even be bothered to maintain it. That was someone else's problem. Your 'big struggle' was marching around in the sixties protesting war, not because you really hate war but because war seriously interferes with partying (and protests are a great place to meet chicks). If, as a generation, you were actually opposed to war we wouldn't be killing everyone. The minute you guys were too old to draft war was back on the list of cool things to do.

The same applies across the board. Boomers are a generation of VAMPIRES, draining the lifeblood of a nation to fund their existence. Nor is it any surprise at all that the demands continue to this day. You guys spent all your own money, then your kids money, then your grandkids money, and you still want more. I would bet money I don't even have that if you polled seniors today and asked "Would you support the complete elimination or SS in the future to fund a 5% increase in benefits today?" I bet 90% of seniors would say "screw the kids gimme more money!" Doubt it? That's been the patern all along. They want everything except the bill -- that's someonme else's problem. Always.
