Although that's quite true, it wouldn't be the biggest reason I oppose Roth taxation. To me it's more about the principle that I sacrificed to set aside my earnings for future benefits while others spend every dime they make. Why should they get the same retirement income as me when I made the lifestyle adjustments that they didn't? It's even worse that I would be the one required to fund the future impact of their current spending through my savings.
