It's interesting that boomers overwhelmingly would want to increase taxes on the younger generation to fund their social security, but it might be even more interesting that the article chose to frame it as boomers v the young to catch headlines and maybe sour the public on saving social security instead framing it as what the best options might be. like eliminating the cap on taxable income. The article should have talked about how boomers rank the various options to fix the program

Maybe because government programs have evolved to have only one solution in 2026. Who can blame the boomer wolves for taxing the rich working youth sheep when that's what half the country thinks is a viable, if only solution? If Democracy is when 2 wolves and a sheep vote on what's for dinner, why is it worth saving again? I remember a long time ago when your founders thought people's worth and property deserved constitutional protections, not fleecing through unrestricted democratic majority votes.

The youth are our future caretakers but they are not there yet.
