Gee, Mr. Taylor 鈥� let鈥檚 not think ahead for future generations. Let鈥檚 think of as many excuses as we can to vote 鈥榥o.鈥�
And perhaps if enough of us selfish self-centred 鈥渘o more of my money鈥� boomers vote 鈥榥o鈥� to the tiny 0.5 per cent sales tax, we can leave the following generations even more of a mess to clean up after us.
That will be on top of the $614 billion national debt, and estimated many many billions in toxic messes like the Giant gold mine fiasco, as well as the catastrophic costs of climate change issues coming at them. These include more frequent and drastic weather-related fire, flood, and drought damage, as well as the resultant ever more expensive food.
On top of all this, the boomer-echo generation has been warned to prepare to pay for an exponential increase in health care costs to warehouse a 鈥渢sunami鈥� of Alzheimered boomers.
I wonder if they鈥檒l eventually find a far less expensive final solution to relieve that problem, to help them pay for all the other inherited challenges we鈥檙e leaving them?
