But, the people who "qualified .. under the current requirements" wrote tax rates and benefit formulas. If the taxes are inadequate to fund the benefits, I'm not sure if "we" should feel bound by them.
We already have "self-funded/self-directed buy up options to complement SS minimums". Anybody can choose to save more, we even give tax incentives to people who save with IRAs, 401Ks, etc. What more do you mean?
"We" all live under a system of representative government. If you don't like what happened in the past, elect leaders who [-]promise what you want to hear[/-] can deliver the changes you feel are necessary in the future; you can't rewrite history to suit the present, and selectively decide which programs you want to be "bound by". You get the same voice in the process as anyone else.
