OK, interesting. So we currently see the old using their higher turnout to transfer money from the young to the old by various mechanisms like this. Everyone who lives through this long gets to pass through this age and exploit those policies...

Giving more voting power to the young would generate the reverse — attempts to have policies that just transfer resources to the young. That's desirable in my view at the moment, but that's partly just a current day happenstance.
