My response would be that so long as you paid your required amount in for the required length of time, you should be considered part of the system and entitled to the benefits of it. If you didn't you shouldn't -- sounds like maybe we agree here? This is how most retirement systems work... by the time you retire, the monies you are getting paid are usually dependent on those still paying in as the money you paid in is long gone by the time you retire. One thing that SS didn't really account for, as best as I can tell, is human longevity increasing. Back when it was thought up, most people were probably not living that "good while" to get paid more than they paid in. Something else that SS -- and many retirement systems -- didn't account for is that they could be raided by those administering the systems to cover budget shortfalls. Many state-level government retirement systems have run into this problem over the years... Illinois and Kentucky being two fairly well-known examples. Kentucky reversed the trend and has been working on shoring theirs up (while also making retirement requirements more difficult on newer hires)... not sure what Illinois ever did. Many private employer's just declared bankruptcy or went flat broke and their former employees got shafted. ...
