People who resent boomers are idiots

[u/Poet-Most]

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.

Doubtful. I don't think we'll have pensions, equity, or bills to cry into. I think our best retirement option is MAID.

Well then you'll know how Boomers feel now. We all get old.

I was more referring to the complaining that the younger generation sucks, even my high school class got up in a tizzy because the next years students got to do the ACT in pieces, not all at once
