Ron Brownstein: “The baby boom is being evicted from the penthouse of American politics. And on the way out, it has decided to trash the place.”

“That’s probably the best way to understand the generational implications of the tax legislation Republicans are driving through Congress.”

“The House and Senate measures shower enormous benefits on households at the top of the economic ladder, a group that by all indications is older and whiter than the population overall. Then it hands the bill for those benefits largely to younger generations, who will pay through more federal debt; less spending on programs that could benefit them; and, eventually, higher taxes.”

1. It's not just the boomers.

The Silent Generation is horrific.
Too young to remember the effects of the Depression, came of age before the Civil Rights Era,
still very prejudiced.
They voted en masse to bring Nixon and Reagan to power.

2. I am a baby boomer and I am sick and tired of being blamed for the mess this country is in !!!

Baby Boomers will pay with their lives for this tax plan.

They will starve us to death.

We will be homeless.

We will not have health care and will die in the streets.

That is what the EVIL LYING REPUBLICANS want.

The dirty fucking hippies were right !!!!!!!!!!!

I am a proud dirty fucking hippie !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3. Yes to all of that, Paul Ryan admits to DREAMING about doing this.

And they are gonna do it.

All I can say is

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

6. How right you are.

Little statement that was thrown around in the Nixon years. All those folks born after 1941 will someday have to pay their fair share. Yup,go old Republican Senator bragged about this at a Candidate Forum in St Paul Minn.

5. The elderly are going to suffer as well, and we can live without

the inter-generational finger pointing.
