Oh, absolutely. As the song said, "The generation gap is a war that's never won." And if the problems they deal with are our doing, then they have the right to cast stones at us for what we did. Many of the problems in our society are precisely because of the self-entitlement culture the Boomers created, a generation that was spared hardship so much that they were inadvertently ruined by the Silents and Greats who raised them. The Boomers received security in the form of Medicare, SS, and an improved economy and real estate market, only to enrich themselves at the cost of future generations having the same help they received.
not all boomer are self entitled most have benefited because have good the economy was when they there in 20s.
they proably had it hardest when it comes to trying to buy house or owning anything. because i'm in foster care i have boomer foster mother she had 9% interest on her house compared to other friend's she had 18% interest on their house. so yes some boomer's are selfish but you can't generlize say all boomer's are rich and have great lives. it all depends what they their did in 20s. like foster my mum didn't go uni because it was encouraged that weren't becoming a lawyer or doctor that you should drop out of year 10 she did. but this situation is in australia though. they also suffered from the fear and parnoia of a themonuclear bomb dropping on their head.
True enough, I know not every person in a generation is responsible or did those things.
