Most people aren't wealthy at 65. Some do, but that's an exception. You seem to live in a different world than I do.

Average net worth of a 65 year old is over half a million in the US.

most 65 year olds who are wealthy at 65, weren't at 30. Just pointing out that if you support a policy because you don't think it will affect you, it very well might later on. But that's an aside point, not the main point.
