A message to Baby-boomers

Hay BOOMERS! How come:   When you wanted them you called them “Rights” But now when we need them they are “entitlements”   You had the Government subsidize education But now we should just be happy we can get a loan.   You preached “free love” But we are sexual deviants, or are mentally ill if we don’t fit gender norms.   You had Draft Dodgers But our soldiers cant be given assistance?   You had government pay to wire all your homes for the telephone, and fund public libraries. But we pay for our own phones and internet, and we are antisocial and rude.   You continually voted for more government services than you were willing to pay for in taxes.  But we need to have Austerity Budgets and cut backs?

After adjusting for inflation;A Collage Degree now cost many times more than you paid for a house and land   (how long was your mortgage?)Jobs Pay a fraction of what they did. They are part time and and have little to no benefits.
  (if you can find one)
We are the first generation since the Industrial Revolution who will not live as long, or earn more than the generation before us!
You drove this system off a bridge, we have none of the benefits you had and all of the bills for it. We have none of the profits, but are paying all of the environmental clean up costs of your lifestyle!

Before you start to say anything about an “Entitled Snowflake Millennial”, Just remember you built this and raised us!

Now I love my Mom, and we all do, but STOP SHITTING ON US! Start helping us! Vote WITH us for progressive policies!

You want to make this place “Great Again”? Help us put back in place all the services that helped you, the services that have been cut steadily since Thatcherism and Reaganomics.
