It all starts with educating people to save for retirement properly. Then you don't have to tax the rest of the population to support people that couldn't plan for retirement to begin with (not everyone falls into this category but there are going to be a ton of these people soon).

Perhaps tax incentives for people that take out 25 year or less mortgages, don't have three car loans and live paycheque to paycheque while having a household income above 100k per year would be a great place to start.
