No matter how you organize it, pensioners use what is produced by the working population. PAYGO systems just make that explicit.

Pensioners once produced what the pensioners of their generation consumed.

It's the same logic I offer to retirees+parents, who grump over having to support a school system.

Unfortunately, having so many retirees that pensions are a problem means there are too many retirees for your suggestion to be politically feasible.
