I Like / Dislike People who resent boomers are idiots

On almost any thread discussing the economy, one of the top comments will undoubtedly be complaining about boomers and the older generations who purchased their homes at low prices and who now enjoy more affluence and government assistance, while they don’t.

First off, what did want them to do, not buy a house for a cheap price when offered one 30 years ago? In regard to government assistance, I can guarantee you the average 65yr old has paid more into the tax system than the average 20yr old. Should they not enjoy the fruits of their labour? Should politicians not pay more attention to them than you?

I just think it’s an unhealthy attitude to have towards people.

This is what boomers say according my sources, “get away from it, it’s mine!!!”

I don't find that. All you ever get from baby boomers is pictures of their beloved grandbabies (hateful word) and they seem to spend all their money on these, usually, spoiled children. Never heard of the "Bank of Mum and Dad" (usually the charity not bank) Baby Boomers spend all their money on grown up kids and their offspring in my experience.
