[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4946132, member: 63706"] The idea behind old people is that they should produce more than they consume throughout their lives and save up so that they don't burden others when they can't produce as much. Obviously things don't always work out for everyone, so we consent to a welfare state to take care of the less fortunate at a relatively minor expense when spread out amongst society as a whole. But then politicians ruin it by expanding welfare and buying votes with taxpayer money, and, worse, debt. Eventually everyone becomes a slave to the state. [/QUOTE]
