I fully understand the principle, however please explain how an elected body can ENSLAVE FUTURE GENERATIONS to pay for their wants?? We used to call this SLAVERY.

Public and private entities borrow money all the time. Repayment in the future is part of every loan.

A corporation can agree to borrow money now and repay it in 100 years if the lender agrees even though the corporation will be owned by different shareholders (people not yet born) when repayment becomes due. No one is required to be a shareholder in 100 years.

Similarly, no one will be required to be a taxpayer in the Poway school district in 20 years. If they choose to live in that district and own property there at that time, they are choosing to be taxpayers there at that time.

There's nothing involuntary about any of this.

Jefferson had some very pointed words already posted.

People are forced by a gun to pay taxes, not to freely join a corporation. When our elected leaders say that the next generation will be required to pay for our needs today, it is the same thing as selling our children into SLAVERY. I cannot pass my personal debts to my children when I Die, why should we as a society????
