  5. The "boomers" as you call them had — and have — no more influence on government than any other generation before or since. It's silly to blame an entire generation, millions of people, for the actions of a few. A "boomer" is merely a person who, through no fault of their own, just happened to be born during the good times of late stage capitalism immediately after the wars in Europe and Asia when the economy of the USA went through an unprecedented and never-to-be-repeated boom caused by the unique conditions prevailing then. For approximately 35 years from 1945 to 1980 the economies of the West experienced rapid growth that allowed them to prosper, but that all disappeared when the corporations and banks (monopolists and rentiers) came to power from 1980 onwards. So you should blame them, the neo-conservatives and neo-liberals and those who put them in power, the lobbyists, for your predicament.

  6. Social democracy, for what it was, died in the 1980's under Thatcher and Reagan. It was euthanized rather than violently murdered like in Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America which is maybe why we didn't notice its passing so much. Besides, what's so good about social democracy when only capitalists — like social democrats — are the only ones who get elected?
