Pure FT cultist drivel. In the long run we are all dead.
"we will need to accept the responsibility and acknowledge that there will be some pain"
OK, how about you give me 2 year's worth of your gross income? I'm sure that will be just "some" pain.
If you can’t think beyond your immediate needs nothing will change and you can just live with the increased taxes coming your way. Have fun!
Btw: you would be terribly disappointed with all of my “gross income” in the next two years. I am retired and living off the money I “grossly earned” in the past.
