My guess: In 30-50 years, most of our growing glut of seniors will be gone, but not forgotten. They will be remembered by their survivors as a generation who could be counted on to show up at the polls in great numbers to protect their Social Security and Medicare entitlements, at the expense of everyone younger.
But, as their old and sickly protoplasm gradually putrefies and expires, their children and grandchildren will have grown increasingly weary of big government. We will no longer be an aging society and there will be a renewal of the American spirit.
Once this crop of grasping seniors is gone, this will become a great country again.
You aren't going to make any friends here with that rhetoric.
But keep saying it. In many, many ways, it is true.

Amazing, you have it totally, completely backwards, conservatism will die out as the younger generations take over.
You really don't know who votes how?
