The State Pension Funding Gap

If you propagate debts far enough, you are effectively trasferring wealth from not-yet voters to existing voters. In other words, taking from those who don't have a political voice yet.

But there is reason to do this. Not-yet voters inherit society and it’s infrastructure. There is value in what they’re inheriting.

We’re just arguing about the amount of the transfer at this point.

All the more reason to tax unearned income at a higher rate, no?
