"And let’s face it: older people have all the wealth in the world anyway"
My argument is that your comment is incorrect (hint: they don't have all the wealth in the world) and your tone.
I don't disagree that they are the best target if you are a scammer its how you delivered the comment awfully close to blaming the prior generation for all our woes .. i.e. doesn't matter anyways because they "have all the wealth in the world anyways" flippancy.
You haven't looked at the statistics on this, have you?
Imagine vastly simplified world where people are in full time education (with no income and zero net worth) until age 20, then they start earning wealth at a constant rate. At age 30 they'd have 10 years of savings. At age 60 they'd have 40 years of savings, and that's 4x as much.
