It is not at all the case with Social Security as people enter into a commitment with the government and pay a certain amount set by the government for over forty years and in return receive an amount back based on their pay in.
No, the people paying into it are subsidising the people collecting now. Folks just don't like paying into it for 40 years and the possibility of not getting their chance to feed at the trough. It can be hard to give it up but think of the children.
