    Or increase taxes on the rich’s assets (including houses) to fund the silver sunami (i.e. the large amount of boomers retiring all at once) and therefore encourage more of the value generated to go to the worker’s wages. Then you don’t have to worry as much about the welfare state because income tax revenues increase, the worker’s private pensions also increase, more economic activity happens because more people have money in their pockets, and the economy grows.

    Either that or work more people to death to keep expanding the current wealth inequality and hope the population keeps getting distracted with culture wars and fascism.
