  Your overall point is valid - the top wealth holders are screwing everyone they can, regardless of what generation they're in. But the older generations have some insulation - they were able to establish themselves economically before the vice really gripped. However, they are also the ones that allowed this to happen & often cheered it on - by voting for leaders who would enact policies designed to benefit the elite class at the expense of everyone else. It's not a generation war per se, but it is partially their fault & the reason boomers are known as "The Selfish Generation". Ironic since their parents were members of "The Greatest Generation" who were willing to sacrifice everything including their lives to better the world. One would think their kids would have learned something other than "Gotta get mine" at the expense of future Americans (both economically and ecologically). So it is a LITTLE about the generation gap.
