"Gee, Pop, these burgers are sure swell. Thanks for taking me to that baseball game earlier today.""You're welcome, Billy. You know, in the communist countries they don't have baseball or burgers. In fact they don't even have food at all.""I'm glad I live in America, Pop.""Me too, son, me too."
>Hey pops, im going to squander the fruits of your generation and make life living hell for my children Why were they like this?
>>18054601If the 50's were some utopia as is often asserted, then that culture would have been preserved and not dropped like a hot potato as soon as people had the chance.
>>18054606Unironically spoiled and growing up in the lap of luxury without having to deal with any real barriers. Thus they become "entitled" and self-centered. They're the sort of people who are born on third base and think they hit a triple. They can't comprehend others might not have all the advantages they had. They never learned to actually sacrifice for anything.So you got boomers who simultaneously bitch about how hard they had it growing up but managed to buy a house by age 25 like they had some sort of sage wisdom instead of realizing they grew up in a world where the US was the only functioning economy and everyone was still in post-war rebuilding. By the times the 70-80s hit, the other countries had recovered and now the US is facing competition for the first time in literal generations, they start chimping out to keep their gravy train going. And they vote for politicians who enable this behavior.

"My boss down at the local General Electric plant practices what we call 'welfare capitalism', Billy.""Gee, Pop, what's that?""Well, Billy, my boss recognizes the important of giving back to the welfare of society. As my wages increase yearly, local parks, schools, and libraries get funding from a modest, reasonable tax rate applied to General Electric. The local union has our family insurance covered. My company sponsors bowling leagues, cook-outs, and other recreational activities that bring the community together.""Gee, Pop, it would be sure be a shame if we got rid of all that, taxed them 0%, gave them bonus packages of millions of dollars, and then moved all our factories to China, so they could make even more money."
>>18054654Better yet what if ten years from now a Democrat president creates infinite welfare for melanin enriched persons at your expense and mine and bankrupts the country in the process?
>>18054691>how dare black people have nice things, /pol/
