<<However, if you are elderly and wealthy, you get nothing in my system, thats the difference and as such it would cost the taxpayer much less.>> I understand what you are saying in general, Lizzie. But my question remains--how would you determine whether a person is elderly and wealthy? Most wealth among the elderly is held in the homes they own. It would seem unfair to expect them to sell them to generate income, when they need to live in them. If you have some sort of system where the home goes to the state when the person dies, you will have a HUGE outcry from younger people, who are depending on inheriting that wealth eventually.
