I was having a spirited Facebook discussion about how since I have already paid all the taxes I'm going to pay (less Social Security and a small employer pension, down the road) by converting everything over to a Roth, I find myself supporting political policies that give out stuff to "low income" folks, like the ACA and Guaranteed Income, since I am now "low-income" and won't be paying taxes, but would be feeding at the trough. I also think this is a microcosm of the Social Security / Medicare question as the folks who detested paying taxes when they were earning income now sure love those government transfers now that they are eligible.
