You can see the alternative in Germany. A considerable amount of tax money has to go into the pension fund just to keep it alive. It's the biggest part of our budget!

To be fair a large part of that is the ridiculous assumptions built into the system from the start, as far as I recall they assumed something like an 18% population growth from generation to generation as a minimum. This obviously won't work if you have past giant generations retiring at times when the current generation is much smaller.
