We need a law forcing old people (that would include me) to retire or go to jail! This would give opportunities to young people.

But I do want young people to become tax slaves so I can get increased social security, medicare, drugs so forth. Seems only fair!

Congratulations, you got your wish. When you started working, I'll bet you were fully vested for Social Security purposes several months into the year. Now, with the SS cap at around $84,000, few workers are fully vested. Today's young workers are paying SS tax on more of their incomes than ever, and for benefits that few of us will ever see.
