The first measure of success of a retirement system is not how much certain individuals manage to sock away, but whether the system as a whole provides basic dignity for all.

Provide basic dignity for all? If hard working people earn enough money to save 10% of their salary and still lead a decent life, but they choose not to save 10% of their salary, and find themselves in poverty on retirement, then its their own decision making during their life that has left them in that state. The first measure of a successful retirement system, like a successful education system, is that the system must give the opportunity for all to live in basic dignity. Those that choose to forfeit that opportunity through their own decision are not a failure of the retirement system, they are a failure to themselves.
