I don't think this is accurate. After all bankers have taken money that all retired worker were paying when they were employed, and made risky investments and lost them creating a defficit. Although these things are always a lot more complex.

What is better, private insurance? can you bet that your insurance wont bankrupt during your lifetime? And of course its owners won't have any problem...

So Are supposed to kill the old people?

@sinafam: Huh?

@sinafam No, just let them keep their wages when they're younger, and they'll have plenty to pay for their retirement. When you take half+ of their earnings in taxes, they're forced to be dependent on gov't hand outs in old age.

Gov't always spends money badly, so most of the retired population get almost no return from the taxes they've paid, and are in poverty. It's a disgrace.

Actually, most studies show that government spends money both frugally and well proportionally.
