Yeah, buddy, lemme tell you, every old person you ever knew, if they had the good luck to have bought a house in California in the 80s or older for kopecks, that they pay basically no taxes on, and then will go onto leave in a completely dilapidated state to sell for $1.5m... suddenly they're not talking about the morality of their windfall, right? How do you not see that?

First, I’m not talking about boomers. Second, if I were, those same people paid taxes on that house for decades. Is it not okay for that rate to fall in their latter years? If they sell, they then pay taxes on that sale amount.

Intergenerational war is stupid. Why be angry because someone lived in a time they gave them a benefit? In the case of the boomers, they were also the generation beaten by cops, water cannoned, and shot for being antiwar and pro civil rights. While many boomers are crappy, they’re are also every bit as diverse as any other group.

Finally, the old folks I was thinking of were born in the 20s and 30s, not the 50s.

all i'm saying is that the complete thought they have in their mind is, "the way i got mine is the most moral"
