That's not the message I was trying to convey at all.

What I was saying is, the boomer generation, could have built a society where everyone could have had plenty. We had tax rules in place that taxed the rich and the companies and that money could be used for financing a whole safety net and also for big projects that made quality of life better. But instead they enabled conservative and neo liberal parties to completely do the opposite. And now we live in a society where everybody is having a hard time accessing basic needs like food and shelter.

It's the boomer generation that voted for Mulroney, Reagan, Thatcher, etc. Who brought us trickle down economics.
