@juglugs Breaking the link between getting older and getting richer can't have helped, either.

@kennykravitz @juglugs If only the conservative parties would realize this link and start trying to make more people rich to get more voters.

@hysteretic @kennykravitz @juglugs It would defeat the purpose, which is to maintain a feeling of superiority. The fewer, the merrier.

@hosford42 @kennykravitz @juglugs They still want to be elected. So at least for countries where the popular vote matters, they might want to improve the wealth of as many people as they can.
