Such a welfare system can only work if there are around 20 working adults to support one elderly parasite on pension. It no longer works in an aging society, where there are much fewer younger workers and a heck lot more elderly. So, burst your own bubble of a fat pension. If you want it, then build it yourself or go back in time to the 1950s.
