>What you're saying is young working age people should pay for those who didn't save for retirement? Nice way to twist my words. If the system worked like I'm describing from the beginning, you wouldn't even be able to say that. Because you wouldn't need to save a substantial amount of money in a better system- everyone would have been paying it all along. And a new young working age person would be paying more, but it's to benefit themselves in the future. So I don't even understand your point. >And what happens when a recession hits anyways and the tax base takes a hit? That should be planned for in whatever various ways it's being paid for. You pull in a little more money from taxes than you need to account for a buffer etc. This isn't rocket science.
