That will take the burdein off the youth.....

See the way this works is, we have to gamble on the amount of payers in the system that actually live long enough to collect.

In 2011 I attended 6 funerals. It was a tough year. I’m not that old. OF those 6 deaths, only 2 ever collected social security.

Ages:

81
66
63
59
38
45

If you had to try and sell this system to someone today that knew nothing of it and could only you one peice of paper and 90 seconds of explanation, you’d be accused of being selling snake oil.

PRIVATISE IT starting with those under 40 as an option.

Not to mention those self-employed folks that died before the age of retirement or even the age of 70.....who paid DOUBLE SSI for their entire self-employed life.

They got screwed.
