24. social security is a ponzi scheme
as currently structured it cannot possibly be sustained. In a few decades we'll have 2 people working for every retiree; what do you think taxes will have to be to cover that. The longer we wait the harder it's going to be to put it on a sound actuarial basis. If my company funded our retirement plan like Social Security is structured there would be people going to jail.
