I don’t think this is true, but even if they said it, the statement itself was false until now. The only time similar would be the gilded age. Yes, wealth was hoarded, but so much was created that it made ALL Americans way better off. That’s not the case now

I think the most of the frustration has to do with a lot of them began homeownership and earning before or near Nixon nixing Bretton Woods, and all of them being too smug to acknowledge the good fortune of a capital investment under a gold standard followed by asset and wage accretion of a fiat currency.
When they say "back in my day," they refer to a fundamentally different economic world.

A lot of Boomers are one issue voters whether they are conservative or liberal. They'll vote for a borderline idiot if he's pro life or the other guy if he's pro labor union or something even if he's in favor of a lot of other really terrible policies.

Yeah, the only boomers responsible for the national deficit were elected to Congress.
Who voted them in? Boomers have been the largest electorate group since the 80's.

Boomer failures were not putting a foot in the arse of everyone pushing the “everyone gets a trophy” and trying to protect their children from struggles while at the same time pushing timeout instead of true discipline.
It escalated with the advent of parents using electronics to babysit their children while leading their children to believe they are entitled to whatever they want and subject to the demands of emotion.

What an entitled little count you are.
If little counts like this one are Boomer kids, I would hope the Boomers would leave whatever wealth they accumulate to an organization that would appreciate it instead of whining about everything.

Nothing in your dumbass MSN article disputes anything I said. Of course wealth is going to be transferred. A shite ton of it to relatively few people. Disputing that is idiotic

my parents sold off all our family land to buy a fledgling business in their 70s. it does fine, but it just pays the bills, nothing wealth generating about it.
i'm a bit of the black sheep of the family because i left town but my sister went to work for them, and they will be selling it off, not leaving it to either of us.
both my mom and dad said often their goal was to leave nothing for us but 0 debt.
FTR, I love my parents. My wife's parents are the same age but but act very differently and even though I'm the SiL, they include me in all inheritance related conversations.

And how.
I'm a Gen Xer. My parents were born at the end of the Silent Generation.
I get why people criticize Boomers, mainly because they told everybody during the 60s and into the 70s how enlightened they were and how they knew so much more than "the establishment" about how to live and by the 80s they had become the establishment. (And yes, I know every generation does that to some degree, but they were downright insufferable about it).
But all the whining about the young people now blaming the Boomers for everything they don't like is more insufferable. The "Boomers are pulling up the ladder whine is demonstrably false:" Millennials Set To be The Wealthiest Generation Ever...
Shut up, you whiney bitches.

Hence, the national deficit.
Not at all. The USA was born in debt and always ran a deficit. The fake balanced budget of Newtron/Clinton also paid companies to shutter manufacturing.
Boomers had to compete for even minimum wage jobs then lose them as local economies tanked. Those lucky enough to have good paying jobs by the late 1970's watched as their places of employment shutdown. Then the oil field baws lost their jobs with the price collapsed.

They'll still vote to perpetuate Social Security and stick other people with the bill for the program they inherited, mis-used, then destroyed.

That would be like disinheriting whiners!
Boomers aren't going to take it with them when they go, but they sure can disinherit fools.
