Baby Boomers have consistently made out in every economy because of their sheer numbers and the way their decisions affect everything.

So it’s no wonder Gen X’ers are bitter and unable to save for their own confortable retirement:

All the Gen X’ers that I know — and our generation, the ones right behind them — feel like they are walking in the trampled grasses of a buffalo herd that’s just run by, and it’s a reality that we’ve been living with our whole lives! The Boomers ruin EVERYTHING they touch, so why should retirement be any different?

So Gen X’ers figure their time will come… when THEY are in power and the Boomers have retired. Then they can pass laws to simply confiscate the Boomers money, via taxes. And the Boomers, having socialized the country, will have enabled them with that power.

Wouldn’t that be sweet revenge on the self-centered “Me” generation?
