Maybe it's time for the elder generation to strive for the good of the ensuing generation, instead of feeling entitled to the fruit of all their children's and grandchildren's labors.
Fact is, a good proportion of the capital in this country is possessed by those who are older, and the entire system now is set up to reinforce that. They have most of the disposable income, while the younger generation struggles to put food on their children's table and keep a roof over their heads. It's crazy.
One more example of how backwards our priorities are these days.

The problem is that they played by the rules and retired under the old system. They can’t get a “do over” and there are many of them living on much less than 20K a year.
They just scrape by now and can’t survive a 30% cut which is exactly what it would be if they spend all their income just to survive.
They don’t want to buy used FOOD and thats what the fairy tax plan is, USED FOOD!
