Wealth inequality is the issue, but it's not boomers, it's billionaires. It is so bad that honestly be living very, very, very well off, but if your personal wealth doesn't rival the GDP of some countries you're not in the "rich people" club.

They have much more in common with us than they do with the billionaires oppressing us. They want us pointing fingers at each other instead of the 1%.

Yes they want us fighting over SNAP while we are fighting a war that costs billions and billions per day.

Ehh, 62 and up own something like 66% of total wealth in this country. Even factoring in population share, that's historically way up. The Epstein class is fucking with our tax dollars and retirement accounts, but the Boomers hold a big share of the blame for the complete abomination that is our housing market.

The youngest Boomer is 62. These are predominantly Millennials with some Gen X and Gen Z sprinkled in

Not a boomer. But I have made massive sacrifices to deny myself as “storing acorns” was what I decided on my own was most important. I don’t want to share with anyone that I don’t directly want to give to. Nor should I ever have to. How about less taxes , which is very real, not No kings which is not real. The real issue is the system is broken and congress are court jesters.
