Many people around here really don’t like it when someone holds that mirror up in front of them. Lots of talk about how socialism and redistribution of wealth are horrible...until you start talking about social security or government school sports and clubs. Then all of a sudden you’re a heartless, selfish bastard if you’re against those things.

Personally I would be happy if Boomers just stopped digging the damn hole. But no. It’s like Ebeneezer Scrooge - except that the heavy burdens of the dead are being laid, chain by chain, on us. And the Boomers are adding more and more to it’s ponderous length.
