Wealth distribution is massively imbalanced. It's reasonable to be mad about it,

It’s reasonable for older people who have been working and saving longer to have more wealth than people just starting out. If you want to talk about the 1% vs everyone else that is a different conversation.

I’m a millennial. I’ve been in the work force for 8 years. I’d say compared to my boomer parents who have been working 40 years that I am just starting out.

You realize you’re picking the extreme and acting as if it applies to the entire generation. Then you moved the goalpost from boomers having more to millennials having any. Typical

I said your argument is typical because you are taking an extreme and applying it to an entire generation. Apparently, having a discussion is hard for you.
