    Thanka Gemini for that, but all the arguments that you just brought up are looking in the past, and on empirical data. I’m looking on the future, and doing analysis and thought/logic processes to figure out what lies in front of us. I guess i will have to live with having an isolated perspective here.

      An aging population base is not good for the future. Your “logic” is severely limited if you’re not considering the need for stable tax revenues to provide services, or the need for sufficient caregivers to aid elderly.

      Edit: These are “forward thinking” concerns brought up by the comment you’re replying to.

        the need for stable tax revenues

        I am considering the need for stable tax revenues.

        I’m just not convinced that these tax revenues have to be paid for by the employee’s labor tax. Why not introduce a wealth tax instead? Let the billionaires pay. Tax them 3% of the net worth annually. That would actually help the people.
