Interesting question

Wed Mar 11, 2009, 5:59 PM
I was reading through comments in an article on SlashDot this morning, and I came across a question.

"If the majority of the population are retired, and they vote for the young minority to work double shifts to support them, and the police enforce the will of the majority vote, is that freedom, or is it slavery?"

Given the way democracy works, and the upcoming retirement of the "baby boomer" generation, I find it a very interesting question.
