your basis for comparison Leo? and if i might pose the question, revolution to what?, socialism, some other 'ism', anarchy? Revolution for Revolutions sake sounds like it might be a risky business. What if your weakened society gets attacked by another power hijacking your revolution to secure its own agenda.? Just saying,,its just fiery young mans talk if there is not some rallying vision and clearly articulated ends. cheers

one can not just take what boomers paid into the system as a lump sump at the end, and compare it to what a boomer will perhaps draw from the government prior to their death; because the boomers paid as they went, the quid they paid as younger persons has been in the system and the multiplication effect of that quid has occurred ( you fail to allow for this); additionally the cost of supporting a boomer does not factor that this would not be as a lump sum, but staged over maybe a decade where it will be spent into and multiplied by the economy. Every dollar spent into the economy remains generating profits to government in the form of goods and services taxes and the like. Boomers are good for the economy, the system and millennials. The question is, what are millennials good for? Fighting Wars?

I can not agree; the boomers used the Capitalist system, it worked then, they accrued capital, they will spend it prior to their deaths because they know they can't take it with them; so the most massive accrual of Capital ever, is about to re-enter the economy ( circular in nature ).... so where is the foundation for this boomer attack and the basis for revolution?! Any Millennial with half a brain ( i concede a shortage ) can position themselves to receive this quid in vastly more efficient ways than inspiring retards to revolution. Boomers can pay because they were Capitalists all their working lives. If they can not pay, what should Millennials be revolting against if not Capitalism itself,,,good luck with that. Back off from the Boomers, they don't just have the money, they have most of the knowledge as well....
