We need to declare intergenerational warfare and seize our rightful inheritance.
Maybe I'm wrong about all of this.
There are different ways to analyse the data.
For example, Medicare Part D is a genuine expansion of healthcare to the old, albeit one pass at a time when it benefited silent generationers instead of boomers.
I counted it under, healthcare is getting more expensive, so we need more healthcare programs.
But maybe I shouldn't have.
And what about Europe?
I hear the pension situation is even worse there.
Maybe the boomers there are greedy, and I'm missing it due to my Americocentrism.
If that's so, my question becomes, do we really want to do this again?
Consider the campaign against property taxes, another purported example of boomer malevolence.
I couldn't find polling on this, so I didn't include it above.
If the polls come in, and they prove that it's disproportionately supported by boomers, does this prove their greed and selfishness?
After all, boomers own most of the property, so shifting the tax burden elsewhere directly benefits them.
I'll answer this question with a question.
Suppose that the polls show that support is concentrated among white people.
This is very likely true.
