Those that would have you believe that the Boomer generation is slowly, inexorably slipping towards retirement are very wrong. Boomers are more interwoven into the workings of our society than ever before. The older boomers, those that were born prior to 1950, have become some of the movers & shakers in American culture, society and politics. Example, George W. Bush, Bill & Hillary Clinton etc. etc. It is reasonable to conclude that the boomer generation will remain an important catalyst for the next 20 to 30 years, especially in the area of venture capital, finance and politics. The A.A.RP. (American Association of Retired People) really needs to have a two tier membership. Boomers 50-65 years old and their parents 80 years and up. Between the World War ll generation in the A.A.R.P and the boomers , the overall influence of this group will be profound as time moves forward.
