We all paid into these systems with the expectation that when we retired we would benefit from having paid into them

sorry...I didn't mean to create controversy
We paid into both systems during our working lives, and now are ENTITLED to the benefits. What's the problem with that? MY problem is with people who receive "benefits" who did NOT pay in. That should not be part of either system but, instead, be called welfare, which is what it is.
