Actually seniors are the wealthiest age group in the US with 47 TIMES (not 47%) the average net worth of those households headed by somebody under 35. Old Americans are 47 times richer than young - Nov. 7, 2011
And then they, who can most afford and who most use the healthcare system push politicians to create a program to make those households with 1/47th the wealth who are using the system much less, subsidize their cost. |
Doesn't this just make sense? Obviously the net worth of someone working for 40+ years should be a lot higher than someone who has been working half of that. It doesn't mean their income is the same though. People budget based off their income, not net worth.
