I think its odd a cohort (me basically) had the golden years, between the one before which had to live through postwar rebuild and industrial conflict, and the ones we leave our somewhat blasted legacy to, refusing to die, spending the inheritance.

I don't entirely feel good about this outcome. I am pretty sure higher taxation may be necessary, a return to the state, not the free market. But in the UK and Australia, older voters are holding this back. It's impossible absent revolution to change without waiting for my cohort and older.. to die.
