As the number of people to whom this applies increases beyond an insignificant number. Everyone is going to have to pay attention to the details. If I work 20 yrs in the US and 20 in Malaysia, who pays what? is it proportional? Do I get SS at US or Malaysian rates? A hundred people and the details don't matter much. A couple million people and it might break budgets in some countries.
