[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thread about the Worst Generation over on Family Relationships made me realize just how many GenX'ers and Millenials hate Boomers and wonder exactly why? Is this just a case of younger generations thinking they have the answers and resenting their parents' ways or is there more going on here? I realize the Boomer generation has made a lot of mistakes but I don't believe we are the entitled, selfish folks were are made out to be? What do others think?[/quote]

Using the word "hate" in this context is a self-absorbed exaggeration (a trait by SOME boomers like OP?).

What perhaps is happening is that younger generations are coming to realize that, while boomers and seniors own most of the assets in this country, they are the ones receiving the most subsidies too, from SS to Medicare, which won't be there decades from now for the rest of us, because they'll go bankrupt. But don't ask AARP to point out where in the Constitution it says that someone has the innate right to receive a pension for more years than he/ she has actually been working.[/quote]
