what bullshit

"Government spending -- boosted by an aging population eligible for Social Security and Medicare -- has outrun our willingness to be taxed."

polls have shown normal the 99% has realized that the mega corps and the wealthy and financial sector are grossly undertaxed, which is the main driver of wealth inequality and destruction of the middle class. That undertaxing isn't accidental, it's the VRWC buying politicians to reduce the VRWC/1% tax rate.

the "aging population" isn't the problem (SS is solvent), it's huge increase in medical costs, the ripoff by health care wealth extraction system over the past 30+ years.
