In my opinion, the first thing one has to realize is that this is an unfair measure. It would cost a very small amount from each and every worker to deal with this. It would be more logical, of course, to take this money from the amounts accumulated over the years that came from workers at a time when there is high unemployment and therefore fewer people working. However, it could still potentially come from an increase.
