Odd, this 'parasitic baby bomber' has invested and worked hard to not let the next generation have a lesser world.

Whom did Mr. Tankers levy vote for in the 2008 election?

This "parasitic baby-boomer" is retired and still paying for his kids college student loans as well as helping out monetarily with the grandchildren and paying federal/state income, property, fica and medicare taxes from 1965 to the present.

What a crock.

My husband and I, both of the parasite generation, are living without luxuries to help put our children through college. My kids did their part by getting merit scholarships, so we are all doing what we need to do to make this happen.

My parents, both pre-boomers, instilled in me the value of taking care of my own. I don't think feeding, clothing or educating my family is someone else's job.

I also don't think that at the time Social Security was enacted it was intended to be someone's full source of income. I think it was meant to provide a means to keep people off of park benches and out of soup kitchens. It never should have evolved into what it has become today.

I'm a few years pre-baby boomer (1942). I worked and saved for 50 years for a comfortable retirement when I turned 68. I'm far from "wealthy" but I am comfortable.

My younger sister and brother (1945 and 1948) are still working and probably will continue working for a few more years. They both put children through school, helped them finance their first homes and cars, paid for wedddings, etc.

This guy is a whiney son of a gun.

Someone need to tell this fool that
Statistical Correlation is NOT proof of Causation.

I couldn't get through the LONG and WHINY piece. Poor guy, he has to work! Everyone else had it easier. Blah, blah, blah.

I was born at the very end of the Baby Boomers (and don't feel any attachment, per the stereotype), and guess what? It wasn't easy to get a job in the early '80s either (thank you, Jimmy Carter) but you deal with it.

The author blames an awful lot of everyone else...

Nowhere in this aricle do they mention the cultural rot starting the Maury Povichs of the world to the "Whose your Daddy" vans crusing the ghettos with instant DNA tests. As Sen. Moynihan warned us, we did destroy the family, of all stripes and colors. How many taxes would the 50 million aborted babies have paid into Social Security? How many advertisements, from cars to shyster attorneys start, "You deserve...." No you don't deserve that Cadillac; you have to earn it.

I realize that our family's frugality and common sense was not rewarded. The politicians may not have the guts to raise our taxes to pay for their profligate spending, but it takes no guts to print money and wipe out the savers. Government statistics, whether it is the REAL inflation rate or the REAL unemployment rate, are lies!

Look in the mirror, folks. Somebody voted for these political parasites!

If you don't like what's going on, be effective in changing it not just crying about it.

Not only is your father a parasite, but he raised a fool. What a loser.

The author doesn't seem to understand that, while the world has been in a continual state of change, human nature has been a constant throughout history. Is he whining because of that?

His blather about impending environmental apocalypse, one of his major complaints, has little basis in reality.

I can't even imagine thinking of my parents as parasites, let alone calling them one.

I resent his implication that because I was forced to contribute to my own retirement through my many employers, I am a Welfare burden. (FYI, Rush Limbaugh also believes this garbage.) They should both rot someplace hot and smelly.

As for his dad's love, most dads are like puppies--have no idea what their offspring are up to.
