Now you have moved the goalposts. Whether or not CPP is a good investment is a different debate I was merely saying the government is stealing from you and you are subsidizing anyone if you die early are not valid criticisms of the CPP.

I would argue though that you are underestimating the risk in an RRSP and significantly overestimating the risk of a solvent defined benefit plan.
