It’s infuriating that you don’t see how incredibly fucking stupid that is. It isn’t a universal truth either; it hasn’t always been this way and it isn’t even this way all over the world today. Hell, it doesn’t even actually work currently in the US, how many retired people do you know that actually only live on Social Security? Basically fucking none because it is nowhere near enough money to retire, despite paying in an absolute fortune over their entire working lives. That same money saved in almost any other imaginable way would do more to support retirees than the awful fucking system we have now that relies on the next few generations to pay.
That’s because what you are espousing the benefits of like it is the obvious and only system is just a forced fucking ponzi scheme.
