Everyone understand how it works. But it is a promised benefit and a third rail of politics. No way the wealth distributionalists will have the political capital to just steal it all after the fact. “Rich” airline pilots will still get their benefits unless the Leninists get full control.
BTW how rich is rich? If someone is rich, shouldn’t they also be stripped of Medicare and have to pay full retail inflated costs until they’re no longer “rich”? If not why not?
