...when the government fails to address fraud and uses “accounts” for political advantage....the end result is higher taxes.

The problem is also that on one contributor’s account there are many people drawing additional benefits on this contributor’s account who have never paid into the system - spouses, ex-spouses, kids, adopted grandkids, etc. While this is a politically correct way to keep people out of the welfare lines, it also ‘gives’ to rich spouses that have never worked a day in their lives. This is true for medicare too.
