So you worked 90 hours a week at $30 an hour when the average wage was about $11 an hour?
As a math tutor?

Do you have any grasp of how much of your deduction is social security. It's capped.
Like my God. No you didn't pay for multiple you didn't pay for yourself.
Just do the math

Boomers are one of the, if not the largest voting bloc in the US with the highest voter turnout, so no, millennials didn't put those people in office, you did. The money you put into social security doesn't even account for inflation. The pennies you put in don't account for the pay you receive when adjusted for modern cost of living. Face it, you fucked the country up and millennials write your monthly check.
The Ghost list:
Millennials can't afford homes because they all spend so much on avocado toast, phones and starbucks
Home prices are so high because millennials want $15 minimum wage!
Millennials are the ones who voted in the people that messed up social security by voting in crooks.
you are the open border generation, you're the ones that wanted cheap domestic labor, and for the labor you couldn't get domestically by illegals, you sent overseas.

All of our nations current problems that arose from political action (so basically all of them) were literally caused by the Baby Boomers, since they've been the largest voting bloc for the last fourty ish years.
No, I only tutored math for 8 years when I was in college and also working. I made $30/hr building houses... for millennials, who all thought they needed 3 bathrooms, a TV in every room etc.
You guys need to realize that the average person in the boomer years, was just like the average person now, except we didn't whine as much.
Now if your want to say the boomer CEO types ruined your life, that would be better... still incorrect, but better.
One of you blamed the boomers born in 1946 for all the wars. Think about the dates.
Here's the way life works. If your life sucks, you're doing something wrong. Your bed is what you made it.
Times now, are just like times when I was young. Most people bust their asses all day long just to survive. This "I just got out of college, where's my CEO-ship, is where the delusion is".
You'll figure it out one day. I just hope you don't feel so put upon that you off yourselves, or something stupid like that.
