You've been paying for boomers' retirement, there literally won't be enough young people to pay for ours unless rich people start having to actually pay into it too (on their whole wealth/income not just the measly limit we have now)
I'm really tired of this narrative. If you look at the prior two elections, boomers only voted conservative by a slight majority, and younger people only voted liberal by a slight majority. The difference isn't stark. I'm a boomer, and me and my boomer friends are flaming liberals.
There is evidence already coming in that Trump did very well this time with younger people. Stop putting all the blame on boomers.
Eh... Look at what Norway did with oil in the late 60s and try and think about what boomers could have done in the USA if they had decided to adopt a similar plan. Norway, a country of 5 millions, owns 1.5% of the stock market!
All hail our billionaire overlords, please pay 50 cents to continue breathing the air.
Boomers will get theirs. Millennials are once again fucked.
Yepppppppp
Back to work, you crusty bastards.
Fuck that, they'd make things worse, even as greeters at Walmart.
I hear they like warm weather, Somalia is warm and even has a nice coast.
They'll make sure the program sunsets as the last boomer takes their last breath
Only if the younger generations allow it, by rolling over.
Evidently, they do
Hasnt happened yet. I have not paid into something my whole life to have it taken away.

You realize we out number them, right?
Let's just vote for a 'Medicare pause' for 5 years, let nature sort itself out.
Throw boomer Republicans out on the street. No money to put them in the old folks home and that's on them.
I don't think you can put this one on the boomers. This is bigger than them

I’m seeing an uptick in accounts pushing anger and resentment at groups of people based on immutable attributes.
This is one of them.
... BECAUSE WE'RE ANGRY!!!
AND WE HAVE REALLY FUCKING GOOD REASONS!!!
"Hrm, seems like people seem upset right now, wonder why?"
So you're so smart, and you're making these allegations - you tell me how boomers have voted differently than the prior and subsequent generations.

I know what neoliberalism is, but where does it suggest it applies to the majority of boomers?
Okay boomer

They didn't act alone but they created this mess.
Gen Xers and Gen Z also wanted this.
Except it wasn't the boomers this time.
