"Boomers didn't create Social Security and Medicare but they stood by and watched as the trust funds ran out and the nation approached $40T in debt. Instead of fixing the system they chose to maximize their wealth at the expense of young people. Boomers are an easy target to pick on. People prefer to do that than go after the actual welfare state which allows for Total Boomer Luxury Communism. Like with most things in managerial elitism the problems are structural.

"If seniors want a tax break they should get one alongside younger Americans who are working and trying to buy homes and start families. There is no reason to give Boomers the wealthiest most privileged generation in America even more special treatment. Retirement savings are meant to be spent. Its absurd for Congress to boast about a $6000 extra tax deduction so that seniors can live on Social Security and keep saving while working families are forced to borrow just to get by. @GreenPlusAnE @RichardHanania @biggsag https://t.co/A3NcM7cuLS Retirement savings are meant to be spent.
