Baby boomers must pay for their selfish and greedy ways.Originally posted by zeitghost
They never supported any generation before them
They bought houses for a pittance. They sold them for a fortune forcing young people to take huge
debt burdens.
They bankrupted the country with their social entitlements and welfare blah blah.
Now they want the next generation to pay for a cozy pension.
Sorry. It's payback time.

Since the present state pension system came into force in 1948 I suspect most of the baby boomers born just after the war did pay for the generation before.
When most of these bought houses it wasn't to make vast profits, just somewhere to live. The market has done the rest because of short supply, not intentional actions.
