you mean the ones ing about not wanting to pay taxes
The discussion has never been on whether to pay taxes or not. Everyone knows some taxes are required. It has been about what is a reasonable percentage of personal income for government to suck up, and what should be done when government starts spending irresponsibly.
"spending irresponsibly"
list the spending
I've already wasted two posts responding to you Bouton. I've reached my limit for the day.
typical chicken .
It could create a lot of new jobs in the medical field, but I'm not sure how obamacare will affect that.

I recommend the novel "Boomsday" by Christopher Buckley (author of "Thank You For Smoking" among others) for an entertaining look at the topic.
About 80% of the current Congress are Baby Boomers. But we cannot prove cause....
Need to look up the demographics of the Fortune 500 CEOs but I will bet its just as skewed.
Our leadership is a bunch of Baby Boomers and they are terrible. Worst generation since the one at the born at the end of the 19th and early 20th. Could end up much worse.
The problem is they are a very large block of people leaving the work force and entering retirement -- NOT that they are some group of inherently evil people.
"Our leadership is a bunch of Baby Boomers and they are terrible"
As George Carlin said, paraphrasing "maybe something else besides politicians is ed up around here. Maybe it's the voters who elected them"
That side steps the problem of UCA and capitalists only financing/buying the candidates they vet. 90% of the time, the candidate who spends the most wins.
And if baby boomers are so ed up, then their parents of The Greatest Generation were ty parents.
"The problem is they are a very large block of people leaving the work force and entering retirement"
Demographics plays a role but not a fatal one. Anybody who looks for it will find that Repugs doubled and tripled the deficit under St Ronnie and dubya, well before the Boomers started retiring.
The little youtube is typcially for right winger a total lie, but bubbas are so stupid they are easily lied to and duped.
The ballooning debt, the commitments to spending (2 botched Repug wars, Medicare Advantage, Part D, Repug TARP and bailout, etc) to spending, the Banksters' Great Depression were inherited from dubya, not caused by Barry.
When I asked what new debt Barry caused, I get silence.
Data are unbiased
bull .
Yes, there is data the deficit went up in the Barry's first two years, but what policies did Barry INITIATE that caused the deficit to go up at all, and what policies did dubya enact that handed Barry a huge pile of stinkin ?
I figured you'd chicken out, like CC
No chicken necessary.
You could say the WW2 generations biggest failure was their children. I won't argue that. At the same time their handling of american policy overcoming the great depression, winning ww2 and ushering in a era of prosperity is undeniable.
The baby boomers have taken that legacy and systematically all over it.
As for the voters argument. they comprise about a third of voting block and upwards of half of those that actually vote. they vote in themselves and subsequently suck ass at policy leadership.
All those interest groups and major corporate conglomerates that finance those elections are run by baby boomers they pervade American society and make it ty for the rest of us.
They cannot die off soon enough.
Maybe we should make them wear stars on their clothing.
Chump brings up a good point. If you think the logical conclusion from my points it that you should kill off an entire demographic then you are one seriously ed up individual.
"they pervade American society and make it ty for the rest of us."
and do you really think the BBs' children, "the rest of us" which I guess includes your own superior self, will be any different? how different? and why would they be superior than their parents?
They could hardly be any worse. There is no guarantee in anything but different holds better odds than ty.
