For the US only:

Because due to the current brain dead policies of the GOP in the US, life expectancies in the US are falling.

So instead of storing up Social Security by making the ultra rich pay their fair share, people who do real work to enrich these people will have to work longer. That means they will have a shorter and less healthy retirement.

Now, I am guessing about 40% of people in the US will never be able to retire. I know a couple in that situation right now.

The GOP has been trying to kill of Social Security for almost 50 years, I fully expect they will succeed in 10 years or so.

The growth in Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid entitlements is unsustainable.
