It would solve a lot of our elderly problems but it might create more. Specifically services geared toward older people. Retirement homes, medical care and every day life.
Professional services will know that the cow can be milked a little more so retirement homes will raise their prices, doctors will raise the costs of medicine and services that currently offer a discount will remove them. You Senior breakfast is no longer discounted by 25%. Your lawn care deal for 60 and over doesn't exist etc etc.
I'm not against it at all. Old people shouldn't be paying fuel taxes for roads they don't travel on or for schools they don't have kids going to but the rest of the nation will find a way to extract it from them.
Also we should take their old people welfare away. Its fucking crazy that healthy people should retire and live like kings on welfare while young workers cant afford to marry and have children. If you could see my dads retirement community you guys would be fuming. Its like being on a cruise ship for 30 years.
Oh what's this the boomers who destroyed the West and took all the wealth and flushed away our prosperity, voted for insane taxes for everybody else now don't want to pay taxes?
Jesus christ I'm not a boomer hater but my fucking lord. Possibly the worst generation in history with the easiest climb to total economic freedom for multiple reason many being just lucky timing.
1. Born from the ww2 generation. 2. Biggest economic and housing boom over 50 years 3. Inherit their economically conservative parents house which are worth insane amounts of money 4. Have their 401 k in when the tech boom hit 5. Housing market goes up even more 6. Don't give a fuck about passing in their money spend it before they die I'm sure there is other shit
The government doesn't actually stick their hand in your pocket. They simply request that you empty your pockets so they can take "their share". Decline, and provide them no information they'd use against you.

Conveniently you don't really own large property (land, cars) unless you have the government acknowledge it (if not (((someone))) can take it away from you through the government).
Which is pretty much always the problem for most Americans when it comes to what they want and what they are willing to pay for it. People vote to increase my taxes all the time for things they want and that I don't benefit from.
Then they like to pretend that they aren't pieces of shit.

As soon as the last boomer dies, they will reinstate taxes + 10% for Gen X and everyone else.
Hopefully the tax cuts can be made permanent though.

Income- SS, pensions, 401k withdrawals
Property- every piece of property you own is taxed. Your home(s), your car, your boat
Sales tax- if applicable and in about 30 states IT IS
Fuel taxes- wanna drive to see the grandkids? YOU'RE TAXED MOTHERFUCKER!
That was stupid. Please stop talking until you get smarter because you're lowering the collective IQ of Upgoat....and trust me, we can't afford it.
