    The way I see it, sure it’s called but I work a pretty good, white collar job, I’m going to statistically live longer than my blue collar peers drawing more over time and end of the day. I’m going to get a whole lot more out than the average blue collar worker and end result is that the working class is going and are subsidizing those rich people who are living longer putting that drain on resources.

    That’s just the way i see it.

        That is exactly the way the math works for anything resembling the concept of insurance.

        All of those programs are a form of insurance.

        You just don’t understand insurance.

          No. Social security is not funded the same way that insurance is. We’re talking about the funding here, so the comparison does not work.
