That sounds great too. But let's stop elderly people from controlling us. When I reach that age, I don't plan on making decisions for everyone else.

If you build a more equitable society ... then the elderly would be less likely to be in government. A more equitable society and civilization would have more opportunities for younger people rather than the elderly holding onto power until they died.

You're still not saying anything about what should be done. "Make it more fair." Ok, how?

I proposed an action. Cut off voting at a specific age. How are you building equity?
