这太疯狂了:89%的美国老年人支持对年轻工人加税以维持自身福利

一则引发热议的推文指出,高达89%的老年公民支持通过提高年轻工人的税收来维持他们自身的福利待遇。这一数据反映了代际利益冲突的尖锐化,引发了对社会保障体系可持续性和公平性的广泛讨论。

背景速读

- Anthony Pompliano ("Pomp") 是美国知名加密货币投资人、播客主持人和前军人,常发表对宏观经济、社保体系和代际公平问题的尖锐评论。 - 这条帖子引用了一项调查数据——89%的美国老年人支持通过提高年轻工薪族的税率来维持自己的社保/医保福利。核心争议是代际公平:美国的社保(Social Security)和医保(Medicare)体系面临资金缺口,改革的选项要么削减老年人福利,要么加税,要么两者并举。 - 由于老年选民投票率极高,政客长期回避改革,导致年轻人承担的税率越来越高、福利预期却更低。这种"代际剥削"(intergenerational theft)是美国财政政策中长期存在的敏感话题。 - Pomp 的"Insane"表达了一种愤怒:即绝大多数受益人支持将成本转嫁给不投票的年轻一代,而非接受任何自身福利削减。
