I think they should be forced to live a simple, meager life as a way of trying to balance the scales. Simple homes, simple meals, simple entertainment. Want something extra......find your own cash.

I think you're generalizing too much here. Of all the baby boomers that I know of, none of them fit your description. If anything, they're the ones supporting their kids well into their 20s because their kids cannot afford to buy a house and are thus forced to live at home and save. Meanwhile, some of those kids have given up ever owning a home and are the ones buying expensive cars, iphones and ipads, and go on backpacking trips to Europe and Asia.
