We both also know that individuals living on welfare are an
insignificant voting block, and are not a significant source of
campaign funding either.


The number of older people extracting more from the system than
they ever put is large and growing. They are every bit the
same as the putative "welfare" recipients, they just don't like
being told so.

Oh, and they (the elders) are *the* voting block. I have no idea
if they contribute to political campaigns.
