Jagadeesh Gokhale and Laurence Kotlikoff

No 9311, Working Papers (Old Series) from Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland

Abstract: A consideration of the degree of equity in the U.S. government's treatment of children vis-a-vis adults, particularly the elderly. The authors show that given current policy, today's and tomorrow's children could end up paying as much as 70 percent of their lifetime income to the government, whereas the current elderly will pay only about 25 percent on average.
