The Worst Generation

Several years ago, NBC’s Tom Brokaw wrote a book, The Greatest Generation, a tribute to the Americans who fought in WW2. The book also captures the experience of a generation that lived through the depression, and chronicles the contributions they made in Post-war America. I’m not trying to rain on anyone’s parade, but there’s one good reason they don’t deserve the title “Greatest”, and that’s for the fact that they were the generation that gave birth to The Worst Generation, the baby boomers. An ambiguous definition qualifies a baby boomer is anybody born between 1946-1964, but I specify that in order to be a true baby boomer, your parents had to have been adults during the war years. If your parents were adolescents or teenagers from 1939-1945, you are not a baby boomer. I put that in there so as to distance myself, and my siblings, from the boomers. We are different animals.

They were raised by parents determined to pamper them, my generation was not. Our parents didn’t fight in the war, but they also didn’t return to glory and entitlement, like there’s did. I think that my generation carried on the traditions of our parents and grandparents religion, patriotism and work ethic. The boomers rejected it. Worse, they tried to destroy it. Though we may be separated only by a mere decade, we are polar opposites.

What went wrong? How could it come to pass that the “Greatest Generation” gave birth to the worst generation, who in turn unleashed a generation of Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris sociopaths on the rest of us? The answer in it’s most simplest form is this; The boomers acquired a sense of entitlement from their parents. Their parents earned it through their sacrifice in WW2. The American economy exploded in the 1950’s, the wealth creation set a precedent never seen before or since in our history. The water eventually crested, leaving it’s indelible mark on the psyche of that generation. They had the best schools, the best hospitals, the best jobs, the best neighborhoods, the best cars, the best everything. Never again would they want, and never again would they be deprived. Tragically, they are now killing America with their sense of entitlement.

Social Security and Medicare are bankrupting the nation. The boomers are all in their fifties now. Many of them are already retiring from the workforce. Their parents are in their eighties. They are all being subsidized, in one form or another, by the American taxpayer, who is the hapless, helpless victim of a political shakedown scheme called wealth transfers. The “greatest generation” and their brood of baby boomers have also infected  other demographics of people with their sense of entitlement. For example, some Parents are having their children medically diagnosed with arbitrary disabilities so as to collect social security payments. They pump their children up with brain candy, all for the sake of feeding at the government trough. 

Nobody represents the mass of self-indulgent and narcissistic boomers, better than Hillary Clinton. She is to baby boomers what Dolly Madison is to ice cream. Hillary Clinton is the Queen of the Democrat Party, a party who’s raison d tere is maintaining power through class polarization and wealth transfers. What better way to divide and conquer than to create a majority of voters who pay no federal income tax? As Neil Boortz points out in his book Somebody’s gotta say it, right now the top 50% of taxpayers pay almost 96% of the taxes. The top 1% pay almost 33.7%. These are the people that Madame Hillary and the Democratic party demonize. They tell their constituency of SSI, medicare, medicaid, welfare and other government handout recipients, that “the rich” are not “paying their fair share”.

The democrats created the EITC (earned income tax credits), which not only waives the lowest income earners from owing any federal tax, but it actually gives them money! Don’t call it a refund, because it’s not. It’s money taken from taxpayers, and transferred to non-taxpayers. This is theft by any other name. Of course, the Democrats will tell these people that the Republicans want to “take” it away, so if they want to keep the free money rolling in, keep voting for them.

For the last two elections cycles, wealth transfer schemes have not been enough to buy the democrats the necessary votes in key swing states. But with millions of illegal’s perpetually obtaining ersatz documents that will enable them to vote, this just might be the added weight that tips the scales in favor of Hillary Clinton and the Democrats. The dem’s can wheel out one of their AARP spokesmen to conjure up one of their tried and true scare tactics: Don’t touch my social security! Only this time when they roll out old faithful, the AARP voice over will be: No toque mi Seguridad Social!     

They say Nero fiddled while Rome burned. America will have a mariachi band.

    Good points.
    I don’t know when or ever the boomers will wake up and realize what they are doing to the world around them. I hate Hillary too, but it’s not just the boomer Democrats, it is the Republicans now too (look at the prescription drug benefit).
    The way the boomers are leading this country there will be nothing left in twenty years.

    Hillary Clinton will do anything to get into the White House. I hope the public can see through her B.S.

    I think the use of the term "Queen" to describe Hillary is one that not only describes her personally, but a potential situation where we have two aristocratic families holding the White House for potentially 28 years.  If you have not done so already, take a look at Larry Sabato’s The Hillary Dilemma which adds fuel to the fire that you have so eloquently kindled above.-Adam Markus
