Baby boomers have historically benefited more from the welfare state than any other generation, having paid in less and taken more. This generational advantage is now facing scrutiny and criticism as younger generations, particularly Millennials, feel the economic strain. Critics argue that policies favoring home price stability disproportionately benefit older generations at the expense of younger families. The sentiment among younger Americans is that the promise of the American Dream has been undermined by these economic disparities. Additionally, younger generations are cautioned not to rely on inheritance, and there is a belief that boomers took a Faustian deal of worldly pleasure at the cost of future generations.
The boomers pretend the youth are poor because they donโt have GRIT. That generation took the Faustian deal of worldly pleasure in exchange for their bloodline https://t.co/7lqbBSEIqT
When the government says things like "we can't let home prices fall, that's where people's wealth is." What they're really saying is they're stealing homes from young families to give money to old people who didn't earn it. https://t.co/sbFlgQhIbU
Boomer karma... and Millenials, don't count on that inheritance https://t.co/vevZhwVpuM
Boomers stole the American Dream and sold younger Americans on a lie that is no longer true https://t.co/gq1evhO7ux
Baby-boomers have paid in less and taken more from the welfare state than any generation before or since. Now the good times are coming to an end https://t.co/HHc8lGqGiK ๐
