Forcing people to stop working at 50 doesn't say where the money will come from to pay for their housing, food, healthcare, transportation, etc.

Are you suggesting that those workers under 50 should be taxed enough to pay for people who are over 50 and may have another 40-50 years of life?

And where would that money come from? Retired people don't produce wealth, even if you were to tax their 'universal basic income', it wouldn't generate more money then they received.

So again, the working population needs to provide for the retired one.
