I always thought the tail end of the boomers really didn't fit. Thanks for the heads up. What tune touches the imagination and stirs the emotions of GenJonesers? Do you think there is a difference in how GenJonesers relate to money than Boomers? Never heard of GenJones. I always thought the tail end of the boomers really didn’t fit. Thanks for the heads up.

Google Generation Jones, and you’ll see it’s gotten a ton of media attention, and many top commentators from many top publications and networks (Washington Post, Time magazine, NBC, Newsweek, ABC, etc.) now specifically use this term. In fact, The Associated Press' annual Trend Report chose the Rise of Generation Jones as the #1 trend of 2009. It is important to distinguish between the post-WWII demographic boom in births vs. the cultural generations born during that era. Generations are a function of the common formative experiences of its members, not the fertility rates of its parents. Many experts now believe it breaks down this way: DEMOGRAPHIC boom in babies: 1946-1964 Baby Boom GENERATION: 1942-1953 Generation Jones: 1954-1965 Generation X: 1966-1978 Here is a recent op-ed about GenJones as the new generation of leadership in USA TODAY: http://www.usatoday.com/printedition/news/20090127/column27_st.art.htm Here's a page with a good overview of recent media interest in GenJones: http://generationjones.com/2009latest.html Interesting blog and post, but it’s missing an important part of the equation: Generation Jones, born 1954-1965, between the Boomers and Generation X.

Before your readers get too angry they should reflect back to a period when the rate was at that same level, during the Reagan administration. At that time that tax rate was hailed as a watershed moment for the American taxpayer, freeing us from generations of tax and spend liberal policies. I know, I voted for Ronald Reagan twice. Yet today returning to the same level, following a ten year period of negative growth of the stock market and declining real earnings for most Americans, is regarded by some as the ascent of socialism and justification for armed revolt. I appreciate the conservative ethos but isn’t it prudent and conservative to manage your emotions and keep issues in perspective? You may start sounding like a raving liberal.
