Well obviously. Why vote for social security, when instead you could vote against the gays? Easy choice!
Unfortunately, there is just too many of them. We probably won't see any meaningful changes until the Boomer generation is gone; if the country as we know it can survive them.
Most of the "boomers" I know are actually Gen X.
Its not really a problem that you can wait out. And significant change is happening when people actively participate in the system rather than refusing because they think it won't work.
Sure, they already got theirs. They know they'll be dead before any meaningful changes would be made that affect them. "I got mine, good luck losers"
Even though it's no skin off their behinds because they're not working a job and getting paid taxable income. The mind boggles.
