They know that many are disadvantaged, as they volunteer--as I teach them this ethic.
The Social Security decimation is part of the Baby Boomers in charge, and many of the destitute Boomers vote for those people and still support them, even though their elected officials are fucking them over. The stock market, the investments, the loss of savings is a rigged system that the Boomers are also destroying over the past 20 years. The whole "Me" generation that started in the 80s, is really destroying our social fabric.
And it's not scapegoating as my oldest is establishing herself in the job market and has the potential to make serious income. My other kids are in college or high school, and they see how screwed and debt-laden their future is because the Boomers are bonding everything and transferring wealth to the upper class.
