. But they have a larger financial support system that most elderly. Secondly, *most* 18 year olds do have a large amount of disposable income. That's why they are a highly sought after democgraphic for advertisers.

Thank you for flame free debate. I will try to do the same.

Now I see how people think that the young have the appearence of wealth, but its just an illusion.

A young person has low income and no balance sheet.

One must buy a car (even if used) a house, and support a wife/kids and educate oneself obtain seed capital for a bud or remain poor.

Redistributing income is only more discouraging and equitable.

Your average 65 year in most cases will own their house (no rent) and have a port of 100 - 500K or more, unless of course they have lived a life of consumption and laziness.

So why should we tax the young and deny them a balace sheet, when either the older people already have OR SHOULD have the money in most.

Its just another addition to the social security ponzi scheme.
