(*07ae591a*):: I see this a lot and it bothers me immensely. Boomers did not drain the system. Boomers were born between 1946 and 1964.
It was under the presidency of Woodrow Wilson, from 1913 to 1921, that the Federal Reserve was established, AND that women’s suffrage was established.
Women’s suffrage ALWAYS leads to a push towards socialism (women’s brains are wired to make sure all of their “children” are being equally fed and taken care of, regardless of their utility to the family unit – this is a GREAT trait inside of a traditional nuclear family unit, but completely unworkable at a national political level.
Socialism simply does not work mathmatically and thus wealth must be silently stolen from the citizens by transitioning from an unforgeable value-based currency (e.g. Gold/Silver) to a debt-based FIAT currency which can be printed (read: inflated) on-demand.
Without a Federal Reserve, it would not have mattered what the Boomers wanted, though it should be noted the only reason that Boomers as a group were able to vote in the policies they did was BECAUSE women got the right to vote. Notice that the women of subsequent generations were no better, and remember that if only men voted, ~95% of the country votes Red, whereas if only women voted, ~95% of the country votes Blue.
Even Wilson himself recognized at least one of his mistakes on his death bed, saying,
“I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world. No longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.”
