I don't think only the young will. But, a person starting work at 25 will ( the age quoted in the article) will likely work for 40 years at the increased tax rate. The person who is approcaching retirement, will likely work no more than 18 years at the increased rate. Certainly seems to me that the younger generations are getting the short end of the stick.
The governemnt was remiss in addressing these problems. Its actually comforting to see that the Germans, generally considered fiscally and economically conservative, are struggling with it too. I guess they fell into the same trap... tell people they will get a nice benny so they vote for you, then figure out how to pay for it later on someone else's back.
