Okay, so do it already... please tell us what makes them so selfish & otherwise awful?

P.S. I'm a libertarian, whatever that means in terms of this issue (since you seem to care).

No, I just reply to a thread that interests me and give my opinion. Nothing else.

Many baby boomers don't plan to leave their children an inheritance - latimes.com
WoW! ! ! So some old guy is going to spend all his cash and the LA Times announces that 'boomers' are selfish.

Great reporting... just what I'd expect from the LA Times. Got any idea when they're going to release the video of The O'bama at the Islamic celebration dinner, toasting a jihadist, back before he was elected. (No, not Wm. Ayers). Yeah, thought not. Just more LA Times self serving agenda reporting.

Apart from inheritance and parenting, the Baby Boomers tend to be the most racist, misandric, feministic, one sided, greediest, and grouchiest generation. This is common among Baby Boom politicians and employers. What Baby Boom politicians are doing right now, their policies aren't to help people and society. It's all about the money, making ridiculous laws.

In regards to selfish baby boomers to their parents, I'm not talking about me.

My father and his wife are displaying this characteristic. I doubt that they mean it, and I suspect that they think that it will make their younger children think harder about their future professions as opposed to just waiting for mom and dad to die and live off of all of their hard work and good fortune.

Exactly. I read a whole lot of silly twaddle in this post. Most boomers I know are busily holding down several jobs while putting their kids through college then helping them out after because the government has effed up everything.

I think you just described ALL politicians, although I haven't been around long enough to judge the older generations... but the non-politician Baby Boomers I know are definitely not anything like you're claiming. Why so bitter? And what generation are you?

Good point. All they did was be in the vanguard of the civil, environmental, women's and gay rights groups.

I will be able to leave my 3 children inheritance and happy to do so. Also all 3 of them have always had bonds from when they were little, from Grandparents too.

I will be able to, do not believe in lying, because my Mother after my Dad passed away, had the ability to know how to save, when to save, and where to put her money. She had to do a damn good job, because she left all 3 of us kids quite an inheritance. So due in part to her, we will be able to do the same. If you can't you can't i believe in doing only what one can.

I am grateful to my Mother, because after my Father passed away, he would never ever dream that his wife, would be so good at saving and investing, but boy she did. Thank you Mom, i would of loved you even if you left nothing, because you were always the best Mom.
