Ever.

Why not fight for yourselves?
You are making an incorrect assumption here.

Also, we are entering an era where people are going to start to live considerably longer. And the idea of retirement will change from not working to not having to work, but still working to remain active.

And that will mean that much greater numbers of people are going to be accumulating more than $5M (often much more).

This is not an academic debate vs we should look out for ourselves. This is a real issue with real consequences for the economy, and how people save for themselves and their families.
