[Sephiroth]

You can't just turn on its head the fruits of hard work put in by the so-called "Boomer generation" (an insulting term in its own right).

The post-war generation rebuilt the UK and they mainly sit firmly in the higher end of the middle-income sector. This is not surprising since they've put the time in, got promoted etc, and many (depending on where you count from) are pensioners.

To resent this generation, which is a sentiment apparent in ianch99's post even if denied, is a kick in the teeth for hard working people who now happen to own their own homes and should not be subject to any form of regressive wealth tax.
