Originally I was going to post this as a response to a comment, then realized I would have to copy-paste it about 30 times over. Instead I'll link this post:

Boomers were the first generation to care more about themselves than their progeny. Or even the ones that came before them. Boomers had the easiest time finding good paying jobs that rewarded loyalty. Boomers had the 9 to 5 or 8 to 6 schedule; gifted to them by their grandparents. Boomers eliminated this schedule. Boomers worked their way up from sweeping a broom to management. Boomers created HR and inflated college degrees. Boomers threw their kids out at age 18 to fend for themselves. Boomers removed upward mobility in companies. Boomers voted for regulations and red tape on trades. Boomers voted for every tax that came their way. Boomers kicked their kids out at 18. Boomers did not teach their children the family business, pushing them to other careers. Boomers did not have family willing to take over their businesses (because they were pushed to other careers). Boomers refuse to step down and relinquish control of anything until they have to (look at our governments). Boomers had the wealth to create retirement homes to throw their parents into (first retirement opened in the USA in 1981), so they didn't have to take care of them. Boomers bought the most amount of houses, toys, etc as they approached retirement. Which rapidly inflated the cost of housing as houses were now owned by boomers who wanted passive income from rent. Boomers who retired proceeded to sell their investments to blow on depreciating things and materialistic goals. Mobile homes, cars, boats, trips across the country to visit every casino possible, etc.
Boomers with inheritance to leave, often sold to other boomers or refused to pass it down because their children did not "work hard enough" to "earn" their inheritance.
Boomers left nothing behind for their children, their grandchildren, their great grandchildren. When you raise this to a boomer they will respond with one of two preprogrammed responses. "I don't care because I will be dead and gone" or "I worked hard for what I have and you didn't have my life because you didn't work hard enough." (the average worker now works more hours than the average boomer did)
Boomers now rot in the retirement homes they created wondering why their family won't visit.
