actually, i think you need to tax old people to pay for old people.

they have all of the money, right? the root of the problem is that they're sitting on it. so, they're going to need to pay for themselves.

i usually attack the "most vulnerable" line as a bunch of high tory anglican gibberish. but, this idea that seniors in canada today are vulnerable is complete nonsense. it was true of their parents, for the reason that the boomers wouldn't support them. but, now the boomers are sitting on all of the money they wouldn't give their parents, and won't give their kids. this is the 'me' generation, after all.

they're not just not vulnerable, they're astoundingly wealthy.

no. stop. there's no choice. they ruined the economy. they slashed state finances. they've left unemployment and debt. their own savings are not only sufficient to cover their costs, but they're the only source of wealth that there is.
