No, because the program was designed to apply to everyone, and those rules won't change at this point. I think the whole system will go under before those rules will change.

Besides, who's to decide your rules are the right ones? Why not deny SS to people who had LOTS of children? They'll have a family to take care of them, the childless will need the SS. ;)

If the rules don't change then it IS going to go under and everyone will be left with nothing.

Because the people who didn't serve or have kids that are paying into the system, haven't earned it.

And I know it was 'designed for everyone' but that design needs to be revamped for the 21st century, or we'll all be worse off for it.
