It takes the most from people in their prime earning years; generally not younger workers. A wild guess is that people 40-60 contribute well over 65% (no data but makes sense). More evidence you don't have a clue. While peak earning years are ages 45-54 (not to 60), the mean earnings for people 45-54 are only slightly higher (couple thousand) versus those aged 35-44. As a result, the age category 35-44 earns 20% MORE collectively than either the categories 45-54 or 25-34, which are both about the same. Broken down, those under age 44 provide probably 70% of the money that is being paid out to current retirees.
