The entitlement is the baby boomers wanting a nice life whilst their kids, grandkids and great grandkids etc have to pay for it whilst they themselves get less and less with each passing generation and see the super rich getting richer and the poor in trailers getting poorer.

Something has to give and it would be great to see the young take back what is theirs. Their time is now, but of course the baby boomers will sit by and let snipers be aimed at the entitled occupy crowd because 'Look at them, they are so entitled and monstrous'. How about it is just right?
The children of baby boomers were more successful than their parents. The millenials are the first in a long time to do worse. Yes factory jobs are leaving the us but new industry has popped up everywhere. The government did poor planning seeing this. I know many babyboomers who did quite well with no reliance on the government. It was the age where you could start out sweeping floors and end up running th company. My father did so and never once took money from the government. He was contacted to study the collapse of the World Trade Center as he was known as a top metallurgist in the country. He did this as I mentioned, by starting out sweeping floors in a factory in Massachusetts . My grandfather grew up in an era where Irish Catholics were not hired due to prejudice but was able to start his own business with success. Once again miles, you are off on American history which I know a bit about having grown up and studied my country. The hippies did have problems but were involved in stopping the war in Vietnam. I know some of South Koreans oppression of women but can't lecture you as I've never immersed myself in your country. I do have exposure to China but am no expert but their economy is an overheated paper tiger and I and many other economists of note forsee many problems I the near future. xi is not helping as he is busy consolidating power and trying to bring communism back to the forefront. Even environmental protestors are being arrested. It is hard to maintain a prosperous country with so much government illegalities. @denilson200
