Millennials stand to inherit over $68 trillion from Baby Boomer and early Gen X parents by the year 2030, setting them up to potentially be the most wealthy generation in U.S. history


Millennials just need to be grateful.

The boomers were the "great leap forward" in Bolshevist revolution in the U.S.

Boomers were the first generation to get a strong dose of Marxist indoctrination in our universities.

This seriously reads like your grandkid’s choices piss you off, but your wife won’t let you say anything. Instead, you come here to rant and rave both at this generation as represented by your grandchild but more so at your own inability to do anything about it or say anything about it within your own family.

What? Boomers are in power. If Marxism has infiltrated into areas of power, it's via Boomers.

Yeah no shite.

It's utterly hilarious to see an old man yelling at clouds when he's 100% wrong.

The boomers fricking ruined everything in the 60's, they were duped by Bolshevist agitators.

I call them "the dumbest generation"

I was born in 1961. Don't blame me for people who were in high school when I was born.

You seem agitated….lol I’m loving this OP. I haven’t seen this level of melting from youngsters under 40 who believe their parents or grandparents are the origins of anything and everything that’s wrong in the world….Facts are facts, Whispering Joe never sniffs the Oval Office without the enlightened college indoctrinated fools under age 40. Own it!

I don't really get the generational rants, but this is an objective fact. If boomers are in power it's because the other generations are voting for them. Stop voting for them if you think that'll improve things.

I’m not agitated at all. I’m merely commenting on the OP who came in ranting and raving about youngsters today. It was a bizarre, funny, and frankly unhinged rant out of the blue. I was speculating on the reason behind it as someone or something specific wound him up to write that diatribe.

I just cant fathom how people get indoctrinated, the historical record of the left is literally hell on earth.

I had plenty of RDDB professors. I knew the truth about the left when I was 15, I could see the the insane media bias when I was 13 when it wad 1/10 of what it is today.

But really, considering how it all unfolded, how could we have avoided arriving at this present state of affairs.

The '60s began with the coming of age of the Spock babies and the doted-upon and entitled children of parents who had gone through the Depression and those who were fortunate enough to return from the worst world war ever.

Parents who were intent on ensuring that their kids wouldn't experience the want and deprivation they had gone through.

It turned out to be the most socially destructive "nexus" this country could have experienced other than another world war.

It was "well-intentioned," but many of those parents unfortunately produced some of the most worthless, rudderless, undisciplined, entitled brats this country had ever seen.

(They and their progeny continued the looming disaster by producing many of those you see now roaming the big cities.)

But for the unsophisticated '60s, take that "perfect raw material" and make it available to the little neo-marxian behaviorist émigrés our brain trust had given sanctuary to as far back as '35.

A socially destructive cadre which included Marcuse, Adorno, Fromm, Horkheimer and others.

All of whom must have been salivating over the prospects of having access to such a potential "mass of clay" which they could mold into what ever they wanted.

It was not long before they revealed that their second favorite targets were our very young.

Likely they viewed this new, unexpected legion of undisciplined malcontents among the collegians as their "new proletariat."

Not like the Russian version, or the "new version" conceptualized by Gramsci, but a new intellectual version which would infiltrate every institution and over time produce the millennium they envisioned.

But now, just as with the original Bolsheviks, their so depended upon proletariat just have not produced themselves in sufficient numbers.

So our contemporary, "new-age" marxian manipulators seem to have relapsed back to looking longingly at the "new proletariat" of Gramsci.

Made up of the discontented and dysfunctional to include criminals, and destitute, abject illegal immigrants - any and all of those who in enough numbers just by being themselves can destroy a viable western nation.

But then the Left still continues to be presumptuous.

For awhile now, every two to four years we've been forced to paint the upcoming elections as the most important ones in this nation's history.

This November and the election in 2024 could supersede all previous ones in importance.
