I won't get too much into this, but the basics of it are that they are the dominant voting bloc for the last 50 years in America, and in such a time they presided over / voted for:

- when given the choice of oil vs the future of humanity, sided with oil for 5-7 decades

- shipping manufacturing overseas, destruction of the middle class, destruction of unions, free trade agreements

- privatization and deregulation of mass quantities of society and the economy leading to, most prominently in my view, a nonfunctional healthcare system and monopoly/cartel in practically every identifiable market

- deficit spending that essentially enriched their generation at the expense of future generations

- benefited from vast amounts of federally funded education, then underfunded and ruined higher education for future generations

- destabilized society at fundamental levels with the war on drugs when they were the generation that most pervasively used drugs in their formative years

- reaganomics led to the great wealth divide, and those formative economic years were driven by the boomers greed as they moved up the corporate ladder

- the vast expansion of military spending

- the suburbs, while invented by their parents, taken to absurd and destructive lengths

Basically, given the world on a platter from WWII postwar dominance and the greatest technological growth and development ever, they have saddled future generations with debt, a ruined environment, massive corruption, and vast entrenched social and racial problems.

Their final gifts will be bankrupting Medicare and Social Security after politically underfunding them or outright stealing from them for 50-70 years as part of runaway deficit spending and military spending. Which is why I advocate denying them those benefits.

It is a generation obsessed with materialism, hedonism, and selfishness. Now, I'm not going to say that other generations are some saints or won't be corrupted by the materialism of midlife like the 80s/90s of the boomers, but at least there is acknowledgement of global warming, racial strife, the drug war, and having to deal with them rather than push them to future generations.

Yeah... We are going to be merciless when we forever record that generation into History.

Boomer will be a bad word here on out.
