Once they repossess your house and lay you off, you know what to do. The money isn’t going to be worth anything soon enough anyway.

Wikipedia defines generation X as birth dates 1961- 1982 which would make Obama either the youngest boomer they could find or the oldest generation X. He acts more like a boomer so I say put him in there. Also, I’ve seen other references to Generation X starting closer to 1967.

There is an easy way to tell. If you don’t own even one single U2 album, even if you don’t like the band, you are not generation X. They are boomers but it’s what was on the radio when gen X grew up.

To give the Baby Boomers some idea of what kind of mess they are into, I’ll reply to Anaxagoras (my personal family circumstances are slightly different, but similar enough that I can translate): “You never asked me what kind of house I wanted to live in, you made all those decisions by yourself. You never asked me what lessons I wanted to be in, you just put me in the ones that you would have loved to go to as a kid, but my choice would have been dancing instead of music. You picked the holiday resorts, and decided which gadgets you were willing to buy for me. When I said I had doubts about the worth of going to college, you made it abundantly clear that not going to college was not an option. And now that you discover that all that you thought were right decisions weren’t so right after all, you won’t even apologize. No, you will patronize me and still claim that you are babysitting me, when it’s clearly you who never grew up.”

I wish things didn’t have to come to the point of having to dig a trench and make another generational gap, but it’s inevitable now. It wasn’t so much the mistakes of their elders what created the gap in the sixties, but their unwillingness to adapt and learn that circumstances had changed. We are seeing it all over again.

Everyone born after 1970ish or so that actually is willing to work and has a marketable skill can start Galt’s Gulch. We just need to find a suitable place.

How hard would it be to buy out Idaho or Montana? Good resources, just short on coastline. For the last one left behind, don’t turn off the lights, let them think we still care.

When the US turns into a senior citizen banana republic we sweep in and buy on the cheap, give them the under 40 version of a ‘bailout’. Should make a bank balance today look solid in comparison.

For all of the boomers worried about the environment do the earth a favor as well as your country, kill yourself. It really will make the world a better place and your great grandkids will thank you for not having diaper duty. Die boomer Die.

“OK I shouldn’t have bought a house with a yard you could play in, or paid for endless lessons for music and sports which you now don’t give a crap about but couldn’t live without. I shouldn’t have taken you to Disney World or the beach or skiing in Colorado, or put a TV, phone, stereo, CD player, iPod, etc. in your room or paid for every dime of your now worthless college education, including graduate school. Had I known what was coming, I would have made us live as paupers and ruined your teenage years completely. But the good news is we still are a family, and we may wind up living in the same household again, and I may be your live-in baby sitter and housemaid, but won’t it be fun? For that I gladly will give up my claim to non-existant Social Security.”

No evidence to support arguments. Fail.

Did any of your parents ‘enslave’ you? DId they make you stay home and hand over your paycheck?

Nah. It’s far more likely you’ve spent your formative years resenting them because they were ‘too stupid’ to be rich.

Which means you aren’t mature enough to understand that intelligence and wealth are totally unrelated…and evidenced by today’s economic climate, diametrically opposed!

You don’t need to be ‘smart’ to be rich, you need to be connected!

This old vs young crap is an example of some people lacking the maturity to know there is no such thing as Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny!

It is and always has been a case of rich vs poor! Age has nothing to do with it!

You have to come down from that ivory tower and realize that not all old people are rich!

Stupid is permanent, ignorance can be fixed.

Obama is just a member of the older generation in disguise. A devious plot to get the younger generation to sing his praises, vote for him, and blindly follow him into the gingerbread and candy house so that he can fatten them and cook them for dinner.

We also want the auto industry tuned down, so we aren’t on the hook for all their pensions. The point is, there is no cost for us, as we aren’t planning on paying for lots of things. Refer to the first 80% of Goodfellas if you want more detail on how we plan to pay for things.

As for cost, don’t worry about. Dismantle the military, there’s hundreds of billions right there. Let the goverment fix health care, trillions more in savings and efficiency. Then once government tunes up the auto industry, gives everyone a low interest mortgage, you kids will be sipping Merlot on the deck before you know it. Enjoy.

TO (poorly) paraphrase, we must let our Enemy destroy themselves. All we have to do is convince them that somewhere in mid-bumblefuck USA we’ve set up a massive free, top-quality healthcare facility the likes of which are a miracle of modern science (or some such bullshit).

The rest, well, it gets a little messy and probably isn’t exactly “ethical,” but wtf, neither is saddling your children with 10x the obligations that whatever’s left from your estate could ever cover?

And 65-68 cents on the dollar is unsustainably high.

I agree with the general idea but how are we going to put this into action?

The Obamunist and everyone else obviously want all of the producers to leave anyways. Why else would they be trying to raise taxes and redistributing wealth?

Thank you for putting into print what those of us still this side of 30 are thinking.

But what’s worse is that you overlooked yet ANOTHER tax on us Gen-X/Millenials. With the Boomers set to live well into their 80′s and beyond, who do you think will have to change their diapers after they hang up their golf clubs? That’s right.

All thanks to the “Me Generation” that broke the world.
