It is not just seniors, no one (or at least very few) is willing to either give up the freebies or pay higher taxes. In reality we probably need do neither one, rather just cut the incredible amount of waste generated by governments. Now of course the government union leaders will not like this because it will make a serious dent in their dues collection as well as take high paying jobs away from people whose only real qualification is that they are content to do as little as possible and still bitch about how hard done by they are. In the real world most of them would be lucky to get a job as greeter at wallywirld. This goes for all levels of government, not just the feds. Next we need to take a hard look at government regulations that stifle job creation. Governments do need to provide a regulatory framework but most often their idea of helping business is anything but. All at huge expense.
