If Generation X dies before reaching the age at which they may collect Social Security, the system is safe. It was originally set up with the very cynical view that less than half of the participants would live long enough to collect even the amount they had contributed, and as a bonus, they only saw what they themsleves had contributed, not the pervasive tax on all wages that is the payroll tax "paid" by the employer.

The truth is, the "employer's half" is simply taken out of the pool of money the employer sets aside for the payment of wages. In reality the entire amount comes out of the wages for labor the employee is entitled to.

State-run lotteries have been referred to as "a tax on the stupid". This version of a lottery, Social Security, makes the assumption that all wage earners are stupid, and taxes them accordingly.

"Who will make my social security payment?"

This sixtysomething working stiff doesn't give a rip! If Generation XYZers start dropping like flies for lack of exercise and common-sense nutrition (don't forget recreational drug use), then my middle-aged a$$ stays right in the workplace earning big bucks with fewer worries about some young cyberpunk coming along and putting me out to pasture.
