Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Boomsday is a satirical novel written by Christopher Buckley. It is loosely tied to his previous novels, Thank You for Smoking and Florence of Arabia.Incensed after a new law increases the payroll tax on working adults under 35 in order to pay off mounting Social Security debt, Washington spin doctor and blogger Cassandra Devine politely suggests that the government start offering incentives to Baby Boomers to off themselves by age 75. In doing so, she touches off a generational war that an ambitious Senator hopes to ride to the White House. | |
