Surely it had nothing to do with years and years and neoliberalism you're so keen on doubling down on.

    Health care, for example, can be provided publicly, privately or in a mixed system like Germany’s; but it should always be universal. Pension reform is a no-brainer. So is tax simplification that cuts loopholes for Boomers, thus broadening the base without necessarily raising rates. And yes, we should keep studying the idea, still never properly tried, of a Universal Basic Income — not to expand, but to replace the welfare state.

    Lmao, this is their best offer? Tax fiddling, taking away welfare programs in order to subsidize landlords, and maybe healthcare?

      Came here to post this. What a raw deal.

      Fuck taking their ‘better offer’. Full Stalinism or bust.

      Also, there is now way boomer tax avoidance/evasion comes anywhere close to corporations.

        Well of course, when corporations file for tax deductions they deserve it. Not like those greedy retirees

          They would also get vored by Mike, if they mentioned tax hikes in his toilet paper.

        Just another example of how corporate media is doing its best to keep us pitted against each other. "Look it's those greedy boomers who are benefitting while you suffer; it's all their fault!" All the while the capitalist pigs are robbing us blind.

        Wish boomers as a group weren't so brainwashed to hate leftism though
