Young Workers Should Fear 'Generous' Politicians

Politicians use pledges to make their priorities and commitments clear to voters.  Unlike carefully worded campaign ads and position statements, pledges eliminate a politician’s wiggle room.  That’s why young Americans should pay attention to a new pledge garnering signatures among Democrats.  While sold as a promise to protect key entitlement programs, it’s effectively a pledge to bury workers under higher taxes and further shift government’s funding toward subsidizing retirement.
