I took the point of this whole thing to be that it's not about young vs. old... it's about average people vs. well off people. This seems to be a running theme these days to try and change the conversation from being about struggling poor & middle class or formerly middle class people vs. the wealthy... and frame & refocus it to be about young vs. old, as a slight of hand political tactic. I commend Dean Baker in trying to point out the fallacious arguments involved in this trickery going on in the national conversation. - watermelonpunch
