So you don't think young people get a raw deal compared with the baby boomers?
They'll earn less over their lifetime, they'll retire (much) later, their pensions will have been decimated by the 30+ year retirements that many baby boomers and generation Xers will have, they will be less likely to own a house, more likely to have debt issues, not to mention the environment. You still think it's all made up?
