8. They won't be paying for their elders. Boomers already paid for both themselves and their elders.
We were told boomers were unique because their parents didn't have social security to pay into during the bulk of their working lives. So the much maligned boomers picked up the difference but were promised that was a one time generational tax.

Allegedly the post-boom generations will be paying for themselves. Unless of course the loans/raids on what should have been a locked box aren't repaid. The setup for which is precisely why this generational rift is being cultivated.
