Should Gen X'ers just confiscate the retirement wealth of Baby Boomers when the time comes?
My Boomer Tips
Baby Boomers have consistently made out in every economy because of their sheer numbers and the way their decisions affect everything.
So it's no wonder Gen X'ers are bitter and unable to save for their own confortable retirement:

All the Gen X'ers that I know -- and our generation, the ones right behind them -- feel like they are walking in the trampled grasses of a buffalo herd that's just run by, and it's a reality that we've been living with our whole lives! The Boomers ruin EVERYTHING they touch, so why should retirement be any different?
So Gen X'ers figure their time will come... when THEY are in power and the Boomers have retired. Then they can pass laws to simply confiscate the Boomers money, via taxes. And the Boomers, having socialized the country, will have enabled them with that power.
Wouldn't that be sweet revenge on the self-centered "Me" generation?
The Greedy Boomers have already begun to live off of the work of Gen X and Gen Y, through welfare schemes enacted and directed by the oppressive IRS and Federal Government. Instead of confiscating the private wealth of the financially well-off Boomers, we should cut off their supply line to our earnings, eliminate the Pozi scheme Social Security and Medicare, both abominations under the Constitution, and force them to finally, once and for all, take responsibility for their own lives.
That sounds great. Now if it’s possible to do it from an x-box or in front of a computer screen you’re laughing! I know I am.
So you’re saying you’d steal from your own parents? Or grandparents? I think you’re just selfish and lazy and would rather take from a generation that worked hard for what they have so you don’t have to work for anything yourself. It’ll be a cold day in hell before you get what I worked for, you selfish, lazy brat! I guess your parents didn’t show you enough attention now you’re whining and trying to get back at them. You’re a riot.

The only problem you have with your idea is that my kids will fall into that X category and I don’t see or even imagine nor can I fantasize even at my wildest lucid dream or most intoxicated moment that you and your liberal left wing buddies will ever take 1 centavo from my son. He’s very much willing to remind you that you’re nothing to him but an unfortunate future statistic.
