Oh god that is one way of looking at what xers and millies are to boomers. Sure that is what will happen but do they actually think that is all we are to them. That would be more like one persons perception of a despised generation. Yes, they will bleed us dry. But i doubt that is all we are to them. We are family members. We are coworkers. We are friends and we are a mystery to them also as well as to some we are hope. Yes we are getting kicked around, but do not think we will respond to it the same way xers have.
Everyone I know eventually gets tired of being kicked and the first chance they get they rip out the throat of the person doing the kicking. In the US you are seeing a bit of that with Trump and Sanders. This is a warning to the political class but I think they will ignore it as they always have.
