> Do the math. As long as you have a population whose trend increases over time, which has been one consistent thing about our population, you will always have a system that is unsustainable. The only way to make it sustainable is to tag contributions to the individual and limit benefits to payouts from that individuals account.

What? It's the opposite. As long as the generation afterwards (the one paying the taxes) is smaller bigger than the one getting the benefits, it should work fine.
