That's me.  I've read so many comments (not here) hating on the baby boomers, why do you think that is?  4951

@MarT:
 
I have often seen baby boomers portrayed as "entitled" in mass media. Especially where the topic concerns Social Security and MediCare.
 
I think that negative portrayal sticks in people's minds.

I read comments after online articles and Gen X and Millennials have so much dislike for the boomers. I'm barely one, but I don't understand what this disgust is all about. 4951

@MarT:
GenX and Millennials know that they will never recoup what they pay in FICA taxes.

Hating?? What for???  I'm a Millennial and even though I'm pretty sure that I'll never see my social security, it's not like it's the baby boomers fault. It's our stupid government who can't seem to manage and budget the finances properly. 4951

I would say the "disgust" is with anyone thinking they are entitled to anything that is more than they have put in to a system.No one is entitled to things other than what they earned. Baby boomers think they are "entitled" to a comfortable retirement and social security should be increased to pay for it.� Nope, social security was meant only as a supplement not the entire retirement.� �
 
@Stealth83:
 
I am a baby boomer been working since I'm 14. Paying my way, paying my share.
SS is not an entitlement. I payed into it.
Medicare I'm not there yet but having to deal with them due to a mil with alzheimers become a daunting task. My dh is a senior benefits specialist and it's hard to keep up.
 
Why they hate us. We got the best music, freedom to roam and explore, and are not afraid to do what needs doin.

Hmm I've not heard of any haters. They probably hate us because we're getting old and cranky? OR maybe they're jealous that we're awesome and having fun and don't give a rat's behind about their opinions!! 4951

We paid for our Social Security. That's our money.  Only A small percentage of Americans work now; those that don't can't expect Social Security.  Our a federal Government has grow too large and too wasteful in their spending.   4951

@Stealth83:
What?????? Where did you get that? Hubby and I aren't even counting on SS let alone feeling entitled to it. Most boomers I know have a wicked sense of work ethic and have never felt entitled to anything we didn't work for ourselves.
