And when we get around to cutting those benefits we cut them for everyone in proportion equal to their contributions.
We need to get away from this class warfare BS thats killing enterprise in this country.
We have a few posters on this thread who don't understand your point. They seem to share the left's point-of-view that the redistribution of wealth is a good thing.
and THEN we can talk about cutting SS benefits for people who’ve paid in for all their lives.

YES! Absolutely! But many here just want “the greedy rich” to pay. Liberal talking points extraordinaire.
Precisely, and the same principle was mentioned above. For sure, the fact that 100K$ was paid in is no guarantee of receiving 100K out. That is actuarial, and is central to the whole system. But yes, reduce the payouts across the board according to what was paid in, in terms of the pot at a given point in time. Now there should be some provision for the freeloaders; however, it should not be over weighted to screw-up the system. Freeloader payout should not based on kids, or any other parasitic criteria. One adult = one payout as an adult, and as a freeloader, at a very minimal level (nothing that invokes motivation to do so).
