I just don't buy the argument for increasing GST. Public spending is increasing because of aging and health care costs. The reserves accumulated in the past are built up with the efforts of those reaching retirement age. Why would you ask the entire population to pay for the healthcare of the elderly when the elderly have helped accumulated way more than enough reserves to pay for their own retirement?
It's like saying that your elderly parents have a lot of savings to last several lifetimes, but they insist that you and your children pay for all their medical expenses.
