a) The National Treasury is Funded by Taxpayers.
  b) Elderly people have "spent" more of their lives contributing
  to the National Treasury than younger people.
  c) Therefore, the older you are, the more benefits you should
  receive.

  The present mode of thinking for many is: "Hey, there's this
  money. How'd it get here I dunno. Oh look, old people. They

  The national treasury is the people. Besides, there's no real
  money in the treasury since 1934.
