Older people vote Republican. Older people tend to have accumulated more wealth than those just starting out.

  > Older people tend to have accumulated more wealth than those just starting out. Which has been true since the dawn of value exchange. That's part of why the outcry against "inequality" citing differences in income between a 20-year veteran of some career versus a new entrant in the market are so tough to swallow. Wait twenty years... they'll be the same... Unless we change the rules to take it all away from everyone.

    There's some truth to this, but nb. that "net worth at same age" stats for various generations in the US are bleak. Each generation since the Boomers has done worse than the one before at the same age, and the Boomer/X divide is already large.

    Agreed completely. Many younger folk point me to graphs that show the value of the dollar and how it's vastly different compared to decades ago, but I simply say that's Democrat propaganda and they realize their mistake!
