Thanks Kids!

A thanks is due to the younger readers of this blog. As a recent retiree I look forward to your contributions to society (and me)!  Here's an excerpt from Nick Gillespie's article at Reason.com explaining why. You can find the whole article here. Actually, stop reading this and get back to work. I need the money.


The Real Class Warfare is Baby Boomers Vs. Younger Americans

"Hey kids, wake up! Stop playing your X-Box while listening to your Facebooks on the iPod and wearing your iPad with the cap turned backwards with the droopy pants and the bikini underwear listening to Snoopy Poopy Poop Dogg and the Enema Man and all that!
Take a break from getting yet another tattoo on your ass bone or your nipples pierced already! And STFU about the 1 Percent vs. the 99 Percent!
You're not getting screwed by billionaires and plutocrats. You're getting screwed by Mom and Dad.
Systematically and in all sorts of ways. Old people are doing everything possible to rob you of your money, your future, your dignity, and your freedom.
Here's the irony, too (in a sort of Alanis Morissette sense): You're getting hosed by the very same group that 45 years ago was bitching and moaning about "the generation gap" and how their parents just didn't understand what really mattered in life."
