There are producers and moochers. Age doesn't matter.
There are a lot of young single workers living in apartments who pay a higher total income tax rate than older married couples living in the suburbs with kids. The white picket fence crowd will act all upset if you point out they're being subsidized by those youngsters paying a higher tax rate, but it doesn't change the math. I think a flat tax with no progressive/socialist trickery is the only way to get everyone to pay their fair share.

The entitlement society was first established by FDR. Then our parents generation voted in LBJ who declared war on poverty and created even more entitlements. So don't act like ours is the first generation to have lousy parasites. Far from it.
