Any more generalizations you can pluck out of thin air?

The state pension is worth about £244,000 per
person. Only the top 25% of taxpayers ever paid in enough tax and NI
(after deducting all the 'free' education and NHS that they received
when their kids were younger) to cover this total.
If you are 0ver 65 then the state pension does come from the state.

Given it isn't funded, the state pension has always been paid by those in
work and paying taxes, etc.
