If you're going to go by all of your generalizations, then you have to understand that the young don't vote, that's why the old make such a difference

Ahh if only it was someone's responsibility to educate younger generations on the importance of voting......

corporations and lack of power for the common people (union busting, price-fixing wages, taking away rights, etc.) are what's killing all generations.

Right, but you're pretending that all this occurred in a vacuum? Did the corporations vote to elect the people who led the attacks on unions? Did corporations vote to elect the politicians who allowed taking away our rights?

These didn't all happen at once, that generation decided these were ideas that would benefit themselves. And it did, they lived through the most economically prosperous times in America and got to retire before all their greed came crashing down around them.
