We have four sons with families of their own. I love to imagine us leaving each of them something they'll likely appreciate.

The greatest threat to that is the government stripping us of our wealth as a prerequisite to compensation for either of us entering a quality full-service senior care facility.

That's a cross-generational stripping of the vast majority for the benefit of a small minority who aren't overly bothered by the exorbitant rates demanded to secure acceptable senior services.

I don't know if the rates are exorbitant for 24/7 care, but I do know the workers at those facilities are not paid enough. My daughter worked as a nurse's aide in order to get clinical hours for her med school application. $14/hour was definitely NOT ENOUGH for 13-hour shifts lifting people, changing diapers and wiping butts, and sometimes putting up with verbal abuse.
