If Social Security worked by giving large pensions randomly to 1 out of every 100 enrollees, and leaving the other 99 with nothing, that might better reflect how wealth is already distributed, but I would argue it is a horrible idea. I would argue that regulatory policy should attempt to smooth out the distribution of wealth, not make it more erratic.
