In the 1980s, Generation Xers like myself and my siblings were coming of age. All this talk about the Boomers ignores the fact that there are more people in Generation X than there are in the baby boom generation. Alot of Boomers though, did not pay the high social security taxes for a larger part of their working careers. The taxes jumped up in the mid 1980s when Boomers were in their late to early 30s, already a decade into their careers.
