There may be a flaw in your premise, tcostell. How many Baby Boomers have responded with information opposite to what you propose is the problem? You are thus required to issue an apology and state I know these are generalizations, which is exactly what they are.

I'm not going to go so far as to say "Bite me," but I'm of the Baby Boomer generation and don't fit your description at all. Maybe it's because my parents were older when I was born (I'm the 7th of 9 children). They lived through The Great Depression and taught us to conserve and work hard. I've paid my Social Security taxes since I was 16 years old and able to get a Worker's Permit. How is that hurting your generation?

I don't think you will find your Most Selfish Generation among FReepers since it is (primarily) a forum for Conservatives. Perhaps it's not the generational factor that is the common denominator for selfishness; it could just be the old liberal thought pattern that is the root of the problem. You wouldn't be complaining about Baby Boomers sucking up your hard-earned money if Social Security hadn't been created by liberal (socialistic) thought in the first place.

Know what I'm sayin'? :o)
