OAS will become a terminal issue sooner or later. People depend on OAS for their retirements more than their retirements savings when OAS becomes more and more generous. Almost everyone like to get higher OAS even though they have six digits retirement incomes. OAS will become a blackhole to suck up all tax dollars from younger generations and encourage no retirement savings and investments. We always say that those people in poverty must have their own problems. We must leave someone behind in order to keep our society financially healthy. Otherwise, that is communism which we all hate it in name but love it in reality.
Lots of seniors move their assets to their kids in order to get OAS paid higher. Cheating becomes popular in this society and those people are so proud of doing this as smart strategies. That hurts all others. Nobody blames them in the public, neither by politicians who know the tricks. But they just do not want to change that as that will make them lose votes or seats in the elections. That is why politicians and everyone just want to get more into their pockets until the bankruptcy of the nation. That will be the game to start over again.
