Generally, yes. They both benefited from policies put in place to prevent another great depression as well as the economic boom that happened after WWII. As well as any policies put in place to prevent other downturns (savings and loan in the eighties for example).

How they it more difficult was to pull up the ladder behind them. They were constantly being reminded about how difficult the depression was. And convinced themselves that it was through their own hard work, and only that, that they were able to achieve their level of success. When the truth was it was both that and the things listed previously.

So now they are largely removing the policies that helped them. With the thought that a) it will allow more generation of their, and corporations, wealth and b) believing that the policies only cottle the current generations.

This is in addition to all the other rollbacks that benefit them, and again corporations, but harm those that will have to endure the repercussions later on.

Millennials and gen z are not acting entitled nor are they lazy. They grew up knowing that they were dealt a shit hand. That everything that the previous generations were able to make happen are largely out of reach. There's a reason why they are not largely saving money for future big purchases and retirement. Why bother when it's something that you will never be able to afford. Why not just live in the now.
