It's basically a template to which generations are most privileged. Support for the government doing nothing rapidly declines with people born after 1964. Obviously, younger generations have reservations about being too supportive of government actions, but they aren't rigidly opposed to it on ideological grounds like many Silents and Boomers tend to be. And GIs never took what they got for granted, never expected things to magically work out and "be fair", unlike Silents and Boomers who delude themselves into believing that "hard work" alone explains their good fortune. This narcissism and destructive drive to "work" results in the mentality of thinking that no-body, including the government, has the right to take your precious money and spread it to someone else. God forbid. Because I'm sure they didn't work "as hard" as you, right? News flash: people who started working in the 1940's-1970's had much higher wages, benefits, etc. than those who started later. Furthermore, one's dollar went A LOT further back then; working class people in the 1950's-1970's could generally count being able to easily afford a car (or two), a home (or the rent) in a decent area, go to entertainment events (including sports) cheaply, and college was cheap. Silents and Boomers benefited from private sector elites not succumbing to greedy excesses, which helped everyone out. The GIs understood that it was government intervention in the 1930's, in concert with noblesse oblige growing, that gave us a middle class paradise. But Silents and Boomers are adamant that the private sector should be left alone, no matter how much noblesse oblige in the corporate world has dwindled over the last 30-40 years. Wouldn't want to disincentivize "hard work", huh? Well gosh, it looks like the government's constant propping up of corrupt private sector activity, and the non-stop growth in millionaire greed, has routed the financial status of younger generations, who have steadfastly refused to buy into the neo-liberal dream promoted by older generations......Who of course benefited from the mid-century's <i>lack</i> of neo-liberalism.

The audacity these spoiled generations had, and still have.

And X-ers and Millennials have thus far been denied what even GIs got WRT wages, housing affordability, benefits, etc. So younger generations have no reason to be terrified of a government that, GASP!, attempts to strengthen the middle class and bring greater dignity to the underclass.
