Boomer "narcissism" shaping American politics

"...They may have once marched for equal rights or interned with poverty-fighting groups, but now the boomers are in favour of tax cuts and opposed to estate duties and national healthcare. With millions of them poised to follow Bush across the 60 threshold, those concerns will soon be foremost on the political agenda. In this fall's elections, boomer issues will be ascendant, wrestling for equal time with the war in Iraq and the war against terrorism. By 2008, many observers believe they will entirely dominate the political agenda." "Report from America: June 26, 2006" CBC News
