On an inflation adjusted basis, jobs pay less and less every year. Of course old people have the most money. They got paid more for doing the same job than we do now

the only problem with this is they aren’t taking in enough immigrants to bluster the economy enough

"Social Security" in France includes healthcare and family support in addition to retirement, that's what is included in the "huge chunk of taxpayer dollars"

The issues with jobs paying less but elderly people in having more discretionary money is probably good. They can use that money to reinvest in their children spend on local economy. average workers having more money even retired is better than just the wealthy.

"Income" for the retired comes from many sources outside of government retirement checks (investments, rent payments), so it's not that the government is giving more money to retired folks than what an average working person can make.

Humans yearn for feudalism. Wealth will eventually concentrate on top in small number of families. Social mobility was only possible for a small window during industrialization and that window is coming to an end.

Spitballing here, but if the variable being measured is disposable income it might be net of major expenses like rent/mortgage, childcare, transportation, taxes, and liquid savings. All of these expenses would skew toward younger demographics and reduce their total disposable income (even if their gross income is substantially higher). Don’t know if this is the case, but it would be one man explanation if accurate

immigration lowers wages, increases land prices, drives rents up, and increases profits. So of course retired people who have saved all their life and own everything would have more money. The huge number of impoverished immigrants also reduces the average for the younger generation.
