Not many people know this, but the ancient Egyptians had a very sophisticated approach to taking care of people in their old age. They taxed workers when they were young, and kept the taxes in the Pyramids for safekeeping. When they were too old to work, each generation could be supported by those currently working.
That’s why Social Security is known as a pyramid scheme.

“That’s why Social Security is known as a pyramid scheme.”
And probably the same reason a pyramid is on the U.S. dollar bill; well, the REAL reason, anyway.
