My grandfather was ranting at me on the phone last night about how the NDP :canada: want to raise taxes, he can't afford any more taxes, can I imagine my mother paying anymore taxes? the other night.

gently caress, old people benefit from taxes wayyyyyy more than people my age do here in Canada. My grandfather is definitely getting more than he gives in terms of care/$

Do old people turn into dragons at a certain age?

fixed income + inflation means taxes are a bigger bummer than when you are young and gay and looking forward to promotions and raises

because regressive tax rates never seem to stop rising, while the purchasing power per monetary unit weakens and its pretty much impossible to beat inflation unless you tie your cash up in stocks.

Then it's "lol oops! Your 23 year old financial manager in wall street just dumped your investments into the American equivalent of Haitian penny stocks to pump and dump his own lovely investment and now your portfolio is worth less than a 1983 Chevy Celebrity! Back to work for you at minimum wage, grandpa!"

If you are old and live in a crappy condo or retirement home, you are not able to yell at kids to get off a lawn you don't have, so those frustrations must be vented elsewhere.

Not really. our tax rates are pretty reasonable and once you get that grown up job you can pay an accountant to find all the deductions and loopholes.

Old people don't understand why the money hole exists and trying to end it IS alarmist bullshit.
