There is a generational war. The boomers waged it against all future generations. Boomers compose the vast majority of upper class.
The generational war against boomers IS the class war.
Get a fucking clue.
Yes, but also no.
They don't call it the 1%, or 2%, or whatever percentage you want to use for nothing. There is still a large portion of boomers, my parents included that drank the kool-aid and by kool-aid I mean the pick yourself up by the bootstraps and work hard and you will be successful bs. They along with the rest of the leftover portion of their generation are pretty much unable to retire, just like the article points to. That is the class warfare. It doesn't matter what generation they are from it really does boil down to the haves and have nots.
The true point of Capitalism is like a big game of monopoly at the end only 1 person is going to win. There really is no other way for it to go down.
