Such sweet, sweet music.

A more egalitarian society is a must. The necessity of lowering our standard of living requires it.

The baby boomers have no right to expect to continue their current lifestyle in retirement. They never had the right to have it in the first place. They were able to acheive it by ignoring the problems that have now come home to roost.

I'm not talking about leaving them to rot in their own shit in underfunded retirement homes. But increasing the age of eligibility for social security is a good idea. As is elderly communes where people get out of their gated communities and take care of each other.

In the interest of full disclosure, I'm a baby boomer who has never invested in this shit in any way and therefore has nothing to loose.

I don't want to be accused of pulling the old conservative trick of pitting one group of workers against another which is why I think it is essential that the rich 1% are taxed until they are no longer rich.
