Social Security is literally the same design as a Ponzi Scheme.

"Oh sure, just pay into this for 45 years and you'll have even more money saved up for retirement. Now excuse us while we take your money to pay for someone else's retirement. What'll happen to your retirement if we spend your money on other people, you ask? Oh, don't worry, we are sure the next generation after you will give us enough money to ensure you're okay. Probably. Oh, and by the way... you don't have a choice in the matter."

People go to jail for that type of shit in Wall Street.

Yep.  Weird.  And they are all better off because of it.

I mean plus the strong economy and lack of a super rich class and super poor class.  It's almost like a fair and open taxation system that was approved by the citizens themselves is better way to go.  Weird.
