The Entitlement mentality does seem to be gripping our nation at this point. Personal responsibility seems pretty much out the window now. But can we or should we afford 'Generation Gimme?'
Wow Paul, you thought your dumb-ass "Generation Gimme" label was so clever that it deserved it's own poll?
Well, here, I'll post the response that I posted in the last thread you mentioned this in, again:
"Generation Gimme", huh?
That's funny.
Tell, me, was it "Generation Gimme" that raided the Social Security fund so they could pay for the bloated defense budget and all the other crap they wasted the money on?
Was it "Generation Gimme" that then raised the payroll tax rate from 3% to 6% in order to pay for the shortcomings, and for the fact that they were too damn lazy to have enough children to cover the costs of their retirement?
Was it the "Gimme Generation" that gave us this ridiculous deficit caused by both outrageous spending and stupid-assed tax cuts for people that are mostly older and wealthy?
No, I believe that was the "Baby Boomers", a generation that I'm thinking you're a part of.
I find it utterly hilarious when people talk about the younger generation like they have some sort of odd sense of entitlement, when it was the older generations that caused all these major problems that the younger generations will inherit, through no fault of their own.
"Generation Gimme", my ass.
How about the "Generation Ass-raped-by-the-Boomers "?
