Well, me too.

However, the people I'm talking about aren't complaining about our tax dollars going to the Pentagon or corporate welfare. They lean more toward a Reagan-est (and they are children of the Reagan era), pro-business, personal responsibility (don't expect help if you hit a bad patch) POV. I was told by one Gen-Xer, that everyone in our neighborhood looks like they're doing well, so what's the problem. And if Wal-Mart employees think they are underpaid why don't they just get another job? And if I'm so worried about poor people why don't I move to a poor neighborhood, start a business and hire them myself.

I know there are liberal Gen-Xers out there, but my point is that it's a diverse group, just like the Boomers.
