Jon Brooks(@jonbrooks ):Young working people have become tax cattle for the modern economy. They get hit with: • Inflation • Student debt • Record housing costs • Payroll taxes • Higher insurance • Higher rates All while trying to fund an aging population sitting on most of the assets. It’s not “tax the rich.” It’s increasingly: take money from the young to subsidize the old.
