[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They took relative prosperity and crested laws that protected their wealth but screwed over everyone after them: pensions, laws, taxpayer dollars for elderly services instead of education, raising age of social security. On and on. They also benefited greatly from the housing boom and cheap colleges. [/quote]That's right, our evil plot to deliberately deprive you of a happy life succeeded!  (BTW that's sarcasm in case you can't tell.)[/quote]

I don't think you have an "evil plot"; I think you are just selfish.

My dad had a second batch of kids at middle age.  I asked him once, "wouldn't you rather give up your SS than see your 20 year old son have to suffer and struggle to pay your SS that you don't need?"  My dad is wealthy.

NOPE!  Mine, Mine, Mine!!!!  [/quote]

Your Dad not the leader of the boomer generation, he is just man who made questionable choices.  I have a Millenial nephew who was on his third divorce by age 30 (with 4 kids), one niece who has been divorced twice by early thirties with kids from both and other Millenials relatives who are unmarried with kids. I don't think the whole generation is defined by their mistakes.[/quote]

"The American public, though, has been pretty clear about its intentions. An informal reader poll from The Washington Post in 2014 found that an overwhelming majority of readers supported the idea of raising the payroll tax earnings cap on wealthier Americans".  https://www.aol.com/article/finance/2017/01/16/79-of-americans-favor-social-security-benefit-cuts-new-survey/21656108/

which party is it that is cutting taxes on the wealthy again?  [/quote]
