As one of those Baby Boomers with two grown children, both of whom have been gainfully employed since graduation from college and each of whom are already earning more money than I did prior to retirement, I say your brush is too broad.   I was the first member of my family to graduate from high school, let alone college  yet my family provided a work ethic which has lasted through into our next generation.  Of course, I am not a liberal; I believe in work; not handouts for not working.
