How could you even think of doing such a thing? A man who doesn't leave more to his children than his parents left to him is no man at all.
Boomers think it's unfair to themselves, if their kids' starting platform in life is higher than theirs was. They actually think it's just not fair, unless their kids struggle as they did. Prosperity of their bloodlines be damned, it must be fair to boomers.

Many of them do, and it's entirely backwards. I won't think it's fair unless my kids have a better starting position than I did.
That wouldn't actually be such a bad philosophy if things were genuinely just as good and/or bad as it were when they were young. The main issue being that things are MUCH...much worse and they refuse to account for that in their thinking.
In their minds they "struggled to work their way through college, so why are you complaining about having to do it?" when, in reality, we're not complaining about having to work through college, we're complaining that we can't even do that. An entirely different problem...and yet, very easy to understand, but still...they persist in not wanting to admit simple and quite obvious truths about how shitty the general situation is, let alone role up their sleeves with us and work together to at least make it better.
