Social Security is a system that should be done away with. It will take a long time. The money people put in social security should be redirected to private retirement accounts that people can directly manage themselves. It is a false assumption to say that govt can do a better job of managing our money. Some people will not manage their money well, but that is just the nature of the beast.
The other key element of a private retirement account is that it can be passed on to other people upon their death. Social Security cannot.
