Comment on US Question. Will the people that have to wait until 70 to get Social Security ever get what they paid in to it back out before they die since men's life expectancy is only 77 now?

One thing is that it’s something that benefits the rich(er) by taking from the poor. The reasoning is that poorer people die younger, so their funds get to be used by those who live longer. Raising the retirement age has people contribute longer, but the poorer will likely die sooner if not at the same age. The richer/longer lived can take from their contributions.
