I won't say one generation is 'better' than another - certainly I like and dislike each of these for different reasons. But I think the interesting point is to contrast the relative well-being of the first two generations with the stagnation or decline in living standards of those subsequent.
Just imagine the improvement in every aspect of life that Keyensian redistribution brought within the lifetimes of the GI's and Silent Generations! We cannot even conceive of such rapid progress today - we're all pretty much used to stasis.
