It's not the elderly's fault that bad laws make them expensive. Elderly people aren't a problem, bad laws are. Obviously poor people aren't the problem either

It's not the elderly's fault that bad laws make them expensive. Elderly people aren't a problem, bad laws are. Obviously poor people aren't the problem either -- personally I want to see far more immigration of poor people who want American jobs (yes I want rich immigrants too ofc) -- but inefficient govt programs like food stamps and unemployment benefits do cost a lot of money. The problem is the govt and its mistaken idea that redistributing wealth can help people. It doesn't. It destroys wealth. We'd all be way better off if they'd never done it in the first place, including the poor and elderly. (Now we have transition issues. We need to abolish it in a way that doesn't screw people who are relying on it.)
