No one is talking about confiscation. But if people think they've paid into the state pension then they might perceive the removal of the triple-lock as such.

No political party in present circumstances can redress this balance unless wealth is created to fund taxes that fund public services.

Some policies to redress the balance will see voters punish them at the ballot box. Chris has already pointed out what happened to the Tories when they said house value should be used to help pay for social care, rather than the taxes of the following generations. If the government were to do anything to stop inflating house prices, drastically increasing supply for example, they would be punished too.
