Some baby boomers are burning through their retirement savings to pay for cancer treatments. Then they have to go back to work.

I think it's more about the stereotypical Boomer attitude than their wealth. The whole "I worked hard at the gas station and saved up and bought my house in 1974 for $20,000, so I don't see why all of you younger people are having such a hard time" thing.

Like I said, stereotypical, but it transcends economic status.

Even many poor, working class people of that age own their homes after all.

It's culture war to distract us from the class war.
