and that boomers didn't experience the same thing. They did!!
You seem to think all boomers were rich and gainfully employed! Not true!!!
Read about the raygun years! It was one of the most difficult times that I can remember!
Boomers didn't create yuppies but yuppies came from among the boomers.
I wouldn't doubt that Yuppies voted for *! They are most likely rethugs too! ;)

A yuppie, as defined by Wikipedia, is short for "Young Urban Professional," and describes
a demographic of people primarily comprising the children or grandchildren of the baby boomer
generation.

(I don't agree with that definition. Yuppies came from the Boomers, of the same age group)

Most commonly, yuppies are highly-educated and upwardly-mobile and are aged from early twenties
to early-to-mid thirties, circa 2006. Yuppies tend to hold jobs in the professional sectors,
with incomes that place them in the upper-middle economic class.

The term is often used pejoratively, with an emphasis on the connotations
of "yuppies" as selfish and superficial.

Now I would agree with that!!! ;)

"This site tells about younger people in recent years who wanted nothing more than
to go to college and experience the promise that the boomers had, and ended up bankrupt,
their credit destroyed, unable to get a place to live or a job to pay for it, and several
of whom committed suicide."

I'm in the same boat! Funny THAT!!!! Except the suicide part.

"You haven't explained why parents resent their own children and slam the younger generation on the Web"

How would I know what other parents do or don't do? :shrug:
If anybody's slamming GenXer's then I would guess they are probably idiot rethugs!
Sorry you want to ignore. I try to keep an open mind.
