6. Yes it helps but it is unrealistic to think the rich can take care of us.
We haven't even got to the real peak in Medicare costs due to the baby boomers becoming eligible and the increase in longevity.
My point is people who think taxing the rich solves our problems haven't taken a look at the numbers. I think our government has done us a real injustice by not explaining things. Probably they realize that the reality of the situation is pretty dire going forward and they are too scared to let us know the truth.
Notice how they tell us we need to look at entitlements but they never really explain why with charts.
