I love that people blame "entitlement" when the group of people getting the largest numbers of actual entitlements are the baby boomers. As the article says, retired people are actually seeing their income rise faster than young people. And yet people say the young people are the entitled ones...

It's hard not to have your income rise if you take care with it. And it's hard not to have your income fall if you refuse to work for it.

Acting entitled and actually being entitled are very different things.

What evidence do you have that people are refusing to work for this income?

Sure is nice to have a pension and then vote to eliminate pensions for younger generations, so you get the nice double effect of having a pension AND a 401K... you know, what the boomers actually DID.
