I would also ask if you were 5 years old when 9/11 happened or like 17?The range of millennials could encompass both ages.
Also doremember desert storm in 1995…or too young? I remember being on a school bus when they announced we were going to war….literally ppl on that bus cried….who’s kids got sent over there? Yeah…boomer kids.
Oh those two recessions….im 2008 in the housing shitstorm….did you take advantage of that and buy a house in that depressed situation? Others did
English
Millennials are the most burdened generation in ages.
Two recessions
Housing collapse
9/11
Middle East wars
Record inflation
Flailing job market
“Required” college so student loans
Unaffordable housing
We need to elect millennials - they know the real struggles
English
@PaigeSully88 I’m loving this stream. Yes AI will take their jobs. If this is their critical thinking…they be in trouble
English
@HomersBeer77 Nah boomers have 40% of all homes, had decades-long jobs and get all the benefits of new policy since leaders are their age.
English
@PaigeSully88 This is how I equate your comments. I see a neighbor or friend buy a new car….i am like. “That is fucking awesome congrats!” You be like… he didn’t earn that car. I deserve that car. Fuck him! And me…I’m just happy my fiend got a new ride
English
@PaigeSully88 Third. You literally had “required” student loans? Girl go to community college for two years then transfer. Don’t be upset that I said “girl” out of everything I said😀
English
That’s great information that didn’t even scratch my question. You are pointing to all these events why millennials have the “most burden”. I’m just post info out that your list literally applies to everyone alive at that time but more important impacts ppl older than you. The stat you gave me is 40pct boomer homeowners. What did that have to do with your original post?
English
@AZinCLE Can you fast forward 30 years and tell us how what you think the younger generation will demand of you when you are boomer age? I mean you do get older and literally one day (god willing) you will be their age. Ps….im not a boomer
English
The Boomer generation overall has nearly $90 trillion in wealth. Why don't we tax some of that before shifting more of the burden onto the young people already paying for your Social Security and Medicare?

Worked 46 years in a factory to pay my home off , no one gave me anything. I paid taxes worked hard and raised my children. Some people like me could not afford to contribute to a retirement account all I have is the SS I paid in and small pension from my employer. I make do with what I have but it’s not easy to come up with the property taxes every year to keep what I have.
English
@1cannotbeblank0 Who did they inherit it from? Their parents and the allies? I’m in the fence if the ttooth fairy just come down and boom….built!
English
Baby boomers did not build this country.
They were born on the heels of the US emerging from WW2 as the sole superpower. A massive advantage that they did not contribute to creating.
DividendBoomer@BoomerDivvies
Boomers didn’t stumble into wealth. They bought homes when everyone else said, “Don’t take on that much debt at 18%” They persevered, did repairs themselves, paid taxes, raised 2,3,4 kids and played the long game. They built the country. And now people call them lucky.
English
@enjoyer_liberty Damn…I just missed the cutoff on your arbitrary age….can you increase it a little or did you set a hard age requirement
English
Americans under 40 shouldn’t have to pay property taxes.
English
@FiSurgi I’m surprised you are getting more flack for being a surgeon and all those taxes you must pay. Thanks for going into that profession!

@jenteach13 @RayPaseur Taught by an entrepreneur that doesn’t need a teaching certificate?
English
@RayPaseur My school will have an Entrepreneurial class next year. The kids are really excited about it!
English
Teach also: Professional Sales. Proposal Preparation.

You want to fix education? Build more Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs. Welding. Culinary arts. Auto mechanics. Construction Trades. Medical Sciences. Cosmetology. Not every kid is headed to a four-year university.

@chicfryrice @Gianpattention What about Scottsdale? Pretty good area and extremely low property tax….
English
If you live in a good area…with good schooling…your property appreciated much faster. These areas have the highest property taxes. If everyone now has the same sales tax amount…your property value will decrease and other areas will increase. It’s fine by me but if you live in a nice area you will now live in a less nice area and vice versa.
English
Even if property taxes get changed to per capita taxes…
if you don’t pay they’d put liens on your home.
There is no system where you are exempt from all taxes, since we live in a society.
Replacing property tax with sales tax would increase food prices by 500%.
No matter what you do, the county/city/state would make sure to get back the same exact amount of money it gets from property tax with whatever new system is in place.
English
My uncle bought a house in 1985 for $80k on a $25k salary.
Paid it off in 15 years. Today that same house is worth $450k.
My salary is $42k. To buy that same house now, I need $90k down payment.
My uncle’s down payment was $8k he had it in 8 months.
I’d need 11 years for that same house. Different economy.
He won’t stop telling me to just buy property😣
English
Imagine dumping money into a retirement account
just to let it sit in cash getting crushed by inflation
There is currently over a trillion dollars in uninvested cash just sitting in 401Ks and IRAs right now
English
@kerry_comcgrl77 Honest question. Would you rather have an open border? Not that I disagree with all you say….that was my main issue
English
Good Lord!
What happened to the promise of lower gas, groceries, taxes, etc?
I cleared out a lot of unnecessary expenses and still feel like I am paying more for things than I did last year. I am lucky I don’t have a mortgage. I don’t know how families with a mortgage are doing this.
Before you say anything, I moved here from Florida because it was a lot more affordable than where I was living. Things just got rapidly worse over the last few years. I love this area and my job but if it keeps getting more expensive I might need to look for alternative.

If your state doesn't have an income tax then it has to get revenue from somewhere
Amy Nixon@texasrunnerDFW
If you purchase a million dollar home in Frisco, TX (or many other Dallas suburbs), you will pay over $2000 a month for the rest of your life even when the home is paid off And those tax and insurance numbers only go up, so perhaps it’s $3000/mo in a decade Total insanity
English
@pottersquash I mean ppl should just worry about themselves. Imagine the brain capacity they dedicate to this cs improving their lives
English
We should see this as reminder that EVERYONE IS BROKE AND EVERYTHING IS FUCKED instead we gotta get off Boomer zingers
We must break away from our love of zingers.

Boomers: “Houses aren’t unaffordable. Stop eating out. Stop buying coffee. Learn to budget.” Also Boomers: “I can’t afford the property taxes on my fully paid off house.” Sir. You own the house free and clear. No mortgage. No interest. No lender. And the tax bill alone is breaking you. But you want me to believe the problem is my Chipotle order. The same system that’s pricing you out of a house you already own is the same system pricing us out of one we’re trying to buy. Maybe it was never about the avocado toast.
English
@realbenterrell You own a house in Florida? If so, when the governor reduced your property taxes are going to send a special check/deposit to the IRS to compensate?
English
Neither. Entitled boomers, already responsible for draining the public coffers for their free government benefits, just want more. They'll want more next year, too. The ones at the bottom of the income bracket that need the benefits SHOULD get them. The other half can pound sand.
