One major problem with this , is that those taxes being raised also apply to a bunch of people who did notwant/were not adults or even alive when these poor decisions were made.

Raising my taxes to pay into the Boomers' pyramid scheme is what I find so distasteful, especially when even with said increased taxes the systems being paid into still will eventually collapse... because its still a pyramid scheme. Paying more taxes into it simply is saying "well, maybe now there's a small chance I might possibly eventually see a return...maybe... but the folks after me are certainly still fucked."
