Would be interested to see what this chart looked like in 1990, when the oldest Boomers were the same age as the oldest millennials are today

Oh look everything started going to shit(wealth started getting transferred to the boomers) the moment (~1980) the boomers had majority control of the Senate.

That's the silent generation. Boomers became the majority in the late 2000s
