As someone who is "older" now (50s) statements like that piss me off.  It is amazing how people 20 years older than I am think the world hasn't changed since 1955.  They don't realize, or want to acknowledge, how many government programs and aid they had in their day, compared to what Gen X and beyond got - which was squat. 

This attitude nowadays of "I got mine, and screw you" is prevelant with so many people of that generation, and others.  They feel the younger generation should shoulder all the burden of society and taxes while they amass even more wealth. I'm very much against that, and believe that EVERYONE - I don't care your age - should pay in to taxes, etc.  I don't support "senior tax freeze" nonsense.  Why should young families have to "scrimp" to pay for services you are using while you have more than enough assets to pay for own?
