And at the same time, part of what sparked the Estate Tax debate is the fact that CPP and OAS are not magic, they are pension funds and the current generation drawing from those funds are drawing significantly more than they contributed, this is what makes most modern pension funds a Ponzi scheme, they constantly have to find new suckers to contribute to pay the old suckers who are collecting.

Few things tick me off more than hearing crabby old Boomers calling for immigration to be cut. They get infuriated when I point out to them that people my age need more immigrants to help us pay for the social programs that Boomers are going to suck dry. As a generation, they're in complete denial about how important favourable demographics have been to their own security and affluence, and how younger generations are getting shafted by an ageing population.
