Such is the way economics works. Sometimes making investments isn't about gaining a return on investment, sometimes it's about avoiding losses.
Hey you may want to send that line to the Dem. party. Its not about saving for your future its about jobs for your grandkids and you don't want to starve your grandkids. You also assume that there would be a flood of people having to work longer in life. I could retire about 6 to 7 years earlier and I bet over half of Americans could retire at an earlier time.
