This is an opinion. You cannot prove it true, nor can I really prove it false. It’s a matter of what you perceive the point of the program to be.

You evidently believe the system to be an annuity. I believe it to be welfare. Given how much it pays out to people who didn’t pay jack in, and the lack of any principle, I’d say there’s plenty more evidence supporting my opinion.

It's part annuity and part Ponzi scheme.
