I think it defies common sense, but it sounds good if you only think about it for 10 seconds.
Your position seems to be such that many people, like me and probably some of the other commenters, should have to work until the day we die. We have been working full-time our entire adult lives. We’re somewhat educated. We’re doing the best we can, but there’s no way we could possibly afford to purchase property. So when we get old and gray, when we’re 85 years old, maybe you’re going to see us working the door at Walmart because there’s no other option under your system. And who’s benefiting from us paying rent our entire lives? Landlords, but more specifically very rich people who invest in real estate. In other words, they are stealing our retirement to get richer when they’re already filthy rich.
And that’s not the kind of society I will ever support because I don’t think the filthy rich bastards deserve any more money than they already have. They only get it by taking it from us and we need it more.
We can’t force labourers, engineers, supplies to make houses for free. And people shouldn’t have to work past retirement age. So we need higher old age security / social security retirement payments.
I agree that the system is currently pulling way too much money to the top. Of course it complicated as the billionaires aren’t actually spending much more personally that the multi millionaires - their money mostly is invested in stuff - their worth is just numbers on a computer. The delicate balance on inflation is based much more on the daily spending by the (lower) middle class population. If we instantly distributed the billionaires’ money to the working classes we’d cause huge inflation that would negate the benifit.

Class warfare.
