You say "Reagan babies" like that's a bad thing....

No, I write Reagan babies in the interest of accuracy. The term "Reagan Generation" is misleading and tries to ride the "Greatest Generation" wagon. The big difference is that the GG earned the title through action. The Reagan babies had absolutely zero input in bringing RWR to office, they just happened to be born just prior to or during his tenure.

I'm at work right now paying for your SS....

Whine a little louder please....I'll wager that I've already put more into SS than you ever will (maxed out every year for the past 15, by April). And, not one boomer aged person is receiving SS retirement benefits so where is your money really going?

As for your statistical analysis, what are the real numbers? If the "boomer" group is significantly larger than the Reagan babies in terms of real numbers then how many actual votes will be counted from each group, and which group is more likely to vote in the first place. Stats (from a poll!) can be twisted to fit nearly any argument, even one from a one trick pony.

You are wrong.

We take the name the "Reagan Generation" not to honor ourselves but to honor a great man who had such a wonderful positive influenced on us all.

Again, You sound pissed off the younger generations are more Conservative than the previous ones, Isn't that a good thing?

But you are making my point. If the Liberal leaning Baby Boomers are "significantly larger" then the Conservative leaning Gen-X and Gen-Y then when the Liberal leaning Baby Boomers die off and the Conservative leaning Gen-X and Y become the majority what does that mean for the Democrats?
