The Nazis did it with the Jews, and now AOC wants to do it with an entire generation. The modern liberal movement was actually started by Boomers. Hippies? Boomers. Sanders? Boomer. Funny how people can label an entire generation over the acts of a few.
Back in the 70s the American worker captured 25% of global wealth. Right now, we capture about 7%. It’s not because a single generation is “withholding” the wealth. It’s because the large corporations (the ones backing AOC) have gotten too powerful. So long as she keeps pointing her finger at a single generation instead of the corporations that are actually responsible, she keeps her masters happy and gets more campaign dollars.
