Soon enough, I expect to see lots more of this same kind of appeal – the people my age, who have been waiting our entire working lives for some of the Boomers to move out of the way (so that we can enjoy some of the same kind of benefit they’ve enjoyed their entire lives and build a life of our own) are now faced with the fact that this is never going to happen.

Who is going to pay for our country’s social security and healthcare structures, when the Boomers have taken all they can for as long as they can? Everyone who has come after the Boomers has been living on scraps and leftovers and didn’t-want-that-anyways, waiting for the time when the dream of a secure full-time job could be realized. Having been made to wait this long, most people of Gen X and Later have not been able to build the kind of financial establishment that previous generations have done, and now will be expected to support the social framework with our taxes? At a time when there will be more older (65+) people than young?

Sounds like being asked to make bricks without straw to me. Foolishness – and everyone talks about the entitlement mentality of the young!

Shawn piles in - so Human Rights Commission - what is your answer? What are his rights?
