How many people did you “walk over” in the process of getting that big bank account? Think of the past 30 years and tell me that you didn’t walk into work one day and just have a “hard-on” for someone “just because” and then fire him/her by the end of that same day. Boomers haven’t earned their bank accounts from being honest but by screwing the guy that had a family to support. The old school management from the WWII days (and pre-WWII) actually cared about its employees; today’s boomers only care about themselves. There is a reason for families such as the Vanderbilt’s having money over multiple generations since the 19th Century and it’s because they respect it AND they respected their employee’s. Old school management didn’t expect their employees to jump through hoops but to do an honest day’s work. Today in the American work place, you have to be a damn magician and perform magical tricks to keep a job. It’s ridiculous. As for today’s millionaires they are a bunch of wannabee Vanderbilt’s with an education of a hillbilly. Boomers are greedy and always want more and more and will walk over anyone to get it. Think Madoff.
