How about we just forget about trying to dream up ever more complicated ways to prompt up a pyramid scheme that is designed to fail?

Since people of my generation are being forced to pay for a system that we will never get a penny from, the sooner it fails, the better, I say. Politicians will never be motivated to get a better system in place until it fails completely.

“Since people of my generation are being forced to pay for a system that we will never get a penny from, the sooner it fails, the better, I say.”

The Social Security system gets revenue of ~$800 billion/year.

People could tell Charles Ponzi to take a hike, but the federal government insists on its take.

“Politicians will never be motivated to get a better system in place until it fails completely.”

Take out the word “completely” and I’ll agree.

“scheme...designed to fail”

Social Security is not failing by design, it’s failing almost entirely because of Roe v. Wade.
