Given that senior citizens make up 12-14% of the total population and have the highest turnout of any actual voting demographic (72% actually cast a ballot), it's unlikely. :o) More than 82% of seniors registered to vote in the last election.OK, but people under 20 make up 27% of the population and are likely to have 45 tax-paying and voting years before they reach the age of entitlement. ;-) Traditionally they may not vote consistently but if society turns into a tyrannical Gerontocracy, that may change. ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
