    Who is benefiting from the theft? The program is going to be insolvent if it isn't restructured

    It’s not theft but it remains to be seen if these massive entitlement programs/welfare states can continue operating moving far into the future.

    Like 40 to 1 workers vs beneficiaries when implemented and a life expectancy of 61.

    Now or soon it will be 3 to 1 worker vs beneficiary and a life expectancy of 77.

    Math doesn’t work so well anymore.

    Far too many treat it like their entire retirement plan when its suppose to be a minimum social safety net keeping old people from dying starving naked in the street.
