It is certainly accurate to say "It's not fair!". But, I want to explain what would actually be "fair". Remember, Social Security is an inter-generational income transfer program. The "fairest" method would be to collect taxes from your children and grandchildren, and distribute them to you. If you have more kids and grandkids, and they work at productive jobs, you'll get more Social Security benefits. If you don't have any kids, you don't get any Social Security benefits. However, please don't think I'm seriously making this proposal.

This will never fly because it will be seen as discriminatory against faggot and clamlicker couples that have no natural ability to conceive a child, where the child is being defined as a REVENUE SOURCE for THE STATE.

Did you not read the last sentence in my paragraph that you quoted, or the first sentence of the following paragraph?

The purpose of my "thought experiment" above is solely to get you to think about how Social Security really works, and why we are in this situation.
