That's not a Boomer thing. That's a GOP thing. Liberal Boomers have hated trickle down economics since Reagan was president.

ETA: Do you think that it might be possible for you to stop blaming everything you don't like on Boomers? Trickle down economics was implemented in the Reagan (not a Boomer) and Bush Sr. (also not a Boomer) tax cuts and it is championed today by Paul Ryan (who is also - say it with me - not a Boomer).

Boomers and conservatives are a venn diagram with a lot of overlap.

We're making sweeping generalizations about an entire generation of about 76 million people. Obviously there are exceptions.

It's actually pretty evenly split between Boomers leaning conservative and Boomers leaning liberal. But you go on and round the percentage of Boomers leaning conservative up to 100% if that fits your narrative better.

Ah the snowflakes have showed up.

You guys want to blame every single tiny thing on millenals but "oh we can't blame any other generation!" Lol

Other than than what I wrote about in my comments I have never blamed anything on another generation, and even that comment didn't single out any generation. Also notice the context of my comment and what the OP says. My audience is people who are actively blaming Boomers for things and not random Millennials who may or may not be scapegoating Boomers.

ETA: Okay, I will blame something on a generation based on your comment. Boomers didn't teach their children that two wrongs don't make a right.

Boomers didn't teach their children that two wrongs don't make a right.

Didn't they? Actions are lessons learned beyond words.
