      I don’t think you know what you’re talking about.

      The UK State Pension is unfunded, which means that its obligations are not underpinned by an actual fund or funds. Such schemes are often referred to as “Pay As You Go” (PAYG). The pension payments made by the government for unfunded pensions are financed on an ongoing basis from National Insurance contributions and general taxation.

          Early investors pensioners are paid off with money put in by later ones.

          Sounds like a ponzi to me.

              Your misunderstanding of the process and confusion with private pensions doesn’t make it false.

              PAYG funded State pensions fit the definition of a ponzi. Therefore they are a ponzi. The fact it is government approved and transparent does not negate the fact that current investors are directly paying early investors.

                  It has two sources of funding

                  Taxes is the same source of funding. Workers.

                  there isn’t a middle man skimming a cut

                  Er. The government.

                  The entire point of a Ponzi scheme is you are pretending there is money being generated that isn’t.

                  Exactly. State Pensions are promised but there is no money held aside for them.

                  It is literally not a Ponzi scheme by definition.

                  I’ve already given you the Ponzi literature, and shown that PAYG pensions satisfy the description.

                  I’m done man.

                  Cos, like your PAYG error, you just can’t admit being wrong.
