First Clinton got Reagan's pathetically low maximum tax on the rich increased to 39.6%. The 1990s were good years, prosperous for all and not just the rich. He was a "boomer". But you see division as the answer to our problems, blame all our ills on a vaguely defined by date of birth "generation". I know more ""Millennials" and they are (not all, of course- it is unfair to lump people into categories based on date of birth, but a majority) are less politically active and, as with you, look for others to blame rather than working toward solutions themselves. Being born in 1959, I am technically a "Boomer" yet I have never been politically inactive because, well, I'm not stupid. Nor do I blame our problems on a group of people connected only by year of birth rather than on individuals. Some of our most anti-democratic Republicans are, btw, not "Boomers" but people of your age. While you're busy finding someone, anyone else to blame and are finished with your whine of the day, stop blaming others and dividing people and join with those of any age who want to improve things.

Get a better understanding of what you're talking about before you blame the "Other". Or, as a wise man is reported to have said: "Get that plank of wood out of your own eye before you criticize the mote of dust in another's".

And I will say this about you and it is NOT based on the year of your birth but I've never seen any of your comments that seem particularly intelligent.
