This quote from another reporter I think sums up the frustration of my generation, and is exactly how I feel. Pay particular attention to the underligned passages, they are very true ......


"As we're all aware, the baby boom is now shuffling rapidly towards retirement, while subsequent generations have neither the numbers, nor the earning capacity, to maintain their parents and grandparents in the lifestyles to which they've become accustomed. Unable to afford their own homes, burdened with student loans, and trapped in a low wage/low growth economy, they just won't pay enough tax to fund the future.

Meanwhile, boomers have the electoral heft through sheer numbers to push for gold-plated pension policies at the expense of looking after the families currently toiling to produce the next wave of taxpayers.

Having enjoyed free tertiary education and artificially buoyant employment in their own youth, they not only hauled up the ladder after them, they're now skewing the remaining privileges their way too."
