    Many young people (myself included) feel that older generations have consumed a disproportionate share of resources, including affordable housing, job opportunities, and social security benefits. This has left younger generations struggling to achieve financial stability and access the same opportunities.

      Yeah the boomers screwed you over so they could go on 3 round the world cruisers a year in their retirement with their ill gained tax benefits, that should have gone towards supporting the generations below them. I have nothing but contempt for them.

    The baby boomers were the first generation to care more about themselves than their children (this is why they started the trend of below replacement birth rates). This led to a culture of where the old sacrifice the young for their own benefit and millennials and Gen Z have continued the destructive trend. When the old outnumber the young as a cause of their self-centeredness it's an inevitable consequence that the scale keeps getting tipped in the elderly's favour.

    Imagine if the government didn't charge us gst for food, sanitary products and services we need to live.
    Imagine we just payed that bit less tax and then we might be not in such a cost of living crisis.
    I get that we need government services but the amount of taxes and excises we have to support government spending is out of control.

    If we shift away from wages/salary becoming the mechanism for tax evasion and instead tax consumption it would stop house flipping and base erosion of the budget and focus on superannuation and house equity via policy reform in legislation. Reviewing who gets private health insurance over a certain age is urgent as people live to 100+.
