The problem is that today's older SS beneficiaries DIDN'T PAY NEARLY ENOUGH when they were working compared to today's younger workers. Is it fair that today's younger workers have to pay a MUCH higher tax to receive essentially the same benefit as their parents and grandparents? Today's older SS beneficiaries were helped by the "Ponzi scheme effect" which kept their SS taxes artificially low during their working years. Now, the system is coming unglued, just like all Ponzi schemes eventually do.
