Ideally I would scrap the OAS all together. Not right away but slowly over 25 years.
Just so we're clear, by drop I mean "lower", not "abandon".

And no, I don't want to pay 25 years of taxes to support a program I'll never benefit from. I don't know how anyone can see that as fair. Especially when that program gives money to the relatively well off - some of them with a higher income than what I have (and they're not even working)!
