Nah Marv, that is not my point. I'm not saying Boomers have my money and I'm not suggesting I expect or want theirs.
I'm saying Boomers, by not providing enough wealth dispersion across their generation and/or a properly capitalized social safety net are going to require tax increases on my generation, to help fund the deficit and keep a massive age cohort alive for what I expect to be a renewed high water mark in life expectancy.
It's a fair question. I don't see any specific data on those prior generations (found any?), but we know with certainty that they paid more in taxes per dollar of income than the Baby Boomers who came into their prime during the lowest tax era in history. Given they have paid less in taxes (which I am not necessarily opposed to), you would have expected they would have re-invested some of those savings to become self sufficient, which isn't the case.
On the plus side, Boomers seem to be working longer than others. On the negative side, the prevents others (e.g., Gen X) from rising to positions of power as quickly as they were expecting.
