Would you be in favor of an investment plan that would be phased in over the next 20 to 50 years, where at the end no money would go to the Federal Government? You could invest in mutual funds or Certificate of Deposits on a weekly basis of 12% of your income with 6% coming from your paycheck and 6% coming from your employer. You could not touch the money under the same basic terms as Social Security.
It is certainly the better solution to put SS into the private sector. Accompanied by a small guaranteed minimum income it would be much more efficient and safe for citizens.
