East vs West and the Social security problem

For the eastern, mainly asian society were taught to honor and take care of our elder. Basicly taking care of them when they get old.

as for the western we were taught to live independently very early and very much careless about our grandparent. and hopes that the goverment would take care of them.

I mean, if all americans share the value of honor our elder and taking care of them instead of depending on the gov.. i think we would easily solve the Social security problem.
