Baby Boomers, born 1946–1964, were the generation of Woodstock (1969) and the late-1960s counterculture.
Drug use, especially marijuana and LSD, was widespread at this festival, and public nudity and casual sex occurred in mass.
And yet, in their twenties and thirties (after their hippie rebellion), Boomers were able to easily enter the work force with just a high school diploma.
Boomers could typically buy a median home for about 2-3 years of family income.
Today the same home costs about 4-5 years of income for Gen Z and Millennials, and the down payment is a much larger sum.
The vast majority of America’s total wealth is possessed by the Boomers, but they want more.
Boomers do not care that the younger generations are being forced to pay into a system that will not even exist when Gen Z and Millennials have need of it.
In summary:
Boomers are the first and only American generation who when faced with an invader and a traitor, and holding a gun with only two bullets, happily chooses to turn around and shoot their own grandchild twice.
89% percent of baby boomers back higher taxes on younger Americans as a means to protect their Social Security benefits.
84% of those aged 55 to 64 also support tax hikes on young Americans who, on average, suffer an inferior quality of life to their parents.
This is from a 2025 Cato Institute poll.
