But don't expect my generation as a whole to respect your generation as a whole after being handed a multi-trillion dollar debt, a decadent moral system and collapsing culture, and a plague of broken homes and slaughtered infants. You had a fine party, running up a debt that you had no intention of paying back before passing it onto those of your heirs that you didn't slaughter in the womb, and you want our respect for that?
And please don't cite the Cold War as an excuse for the national debt. It was the Great Society that ran up the bill, not the the well-placed military expenditures.
Do not think that we owe you (and again, "you" is in the plural, directed to the Boomers as a whole, not you personally) respect for the above or a free lunch via the corrupt Social Security system (which YOUR generation looted) at the sacrifice of our childrens' prosperity and freedom. If your generation really wants the respect of its children, it'll sacrifice to fix its own problems instead of foisting them on us.
I cannot WAIT to hear how you'll explain MTV, PETA, hiphop and Alanis Morrisette to GenZ.
Along the same lines, don't dump on someone you don't know blaming them for all the ills of the world. I've never slaughtered an innocent, nor have I endorsed the slaughter. I've voted Republican my entire life, never ever used any sort of public assistance, and will not be held responsible for the national debt. Should I be able to retire? Sure. Should I expect YOUR GENERATION to pay for it? Sure. I paid for my parents.....
It is the responsibility of the CHILD to respect the PARENT (if nothing else, look up Exodus) AND their ELDERS. That's just basic good manners.
I swore I wouldn't get dragged into this massacre, this abomination of a subject, and here I am. I'm disgusted with myself. I going to go do something productive.
So...you're the only one still living through the debt, the moral system and culture of death. Gee, I've been fighting it all my adult life (the last 28 years) and now I find out it's my (our) fault.
