Admirable sentiments Dick; however, I just question how we function as a society without renewal.

How does an increasingly aging population exist, on a narrowing tax base, without the necessary next-generation contributions from those able to earn - and pay their taxes in turn. We are getting older by demographic; immigration is the only solution.

My generation is funding the retirement of many, including those that went through the Depression. I have my own super, but more don't. Who funds that societal obligation without a workforce that can pay - and have confidence that when their turn comes, they will get the same consideration?

Maybe I missed it.
