You see, the Boomers recognize the power and influence of this thing called "voting". Your ever disappointing generation seems to like to avoid it, because, dude, it's like school and stuff. It's like all hard. You have to study and then take a test... screw that crap. Fur realz...
If your generation where to ever to rise up and the skateboards and Beatz headsets were to go flying, they would vote solidly Democrat and the depth and breadth of the new entitlement programs would swell to sizes the world has never seen. Your fellow millenials would love to tax the hell out of you to pay for it. Hey, somebody has to take over where Mom left off. Why do think the Democrats go courting the "youth" vote every election cycle?
Seriously? You have your panties in a wad because you have to pay for old people? If you got your way and those old people got kicked to the curb, what would you do with your newly gained wealth? Buy a bigger airplane? A second boat dock? A whole cellar of vintage aged Bourbon? I seriously doubt a guy that is too high brow to drink something as lowly as wine, is going to be giving all to charities.
Yes they existed. That's it. Just existed. Life was harder then and it sucked. Guys like you back then lived grand by raping the less fortunate whenever possible. It sucked so much back in the day, that people got together and voted (there's that annoying super power that old people seem to have again) to try to make life better for more people. How do you think we got here? Life was so good back then that we had to screw it up just for something to do?
