The largest was started in 1935 by FDR as part of the "New Deal" . . . it's called Social Security.

Why is Social Security often called a Ponzi scheme? (Commentary)


its not a scam when the government does it.

A lot of people look at Social Security wrong....like they are expecting to get something out of it. In my view it's just a tax like any other. I pay SS tax to help old people. Just like the other taxes you pay, don't plan on getting any of it back. That's not the way it should be, but that's the way it is.
