As a young person I actually don't mind paying taxes for this. Let the oldies retire. We'll figure out our own mess later lol

Bloody politicians always trying to mess with things that work. Leave super alone and focus on housing FFS.

On the tools 'til 67? My body is already cooked at 45. National can get stuffed.
