Considering that Social Security is "officially" going to run out of money in 2037, is it the time to pay out what people have paid in and cease the program? I would absolutely love the money that I paid in, and really invest it. Not only will I get a better return than the Feds, but it will reduce the Feds responsibility "having" to care for me.
To those who think the average person cannot handle the investments, or will foolishly waste it: Your belief in the ability of man is a sad view of what people can do. There are those who do not do the right thing financially. Punishing society by taxing and taking money to pay for a failing program to help a few people that should be cared for by family or charity in the first place is a recipe for disaster. That disaster is coming in 27 years.
What reason can be given showing the "equality" to all under this program. Other that being put in prison for non-payment, why should anyone pay the Social Security tax?
