Forget the fantasy that Social Security exists to provide a defined benefit for everyone, it's nothing but a welfare program just like any other.
People are whining that they put all that money into the system and now they're not going to get any back...where are they when the crack ho' cashes her welfare check? It's their money being disbursed, it's not the crack ho's until it's in her hands. Social Security is just one more expense among all the burdens imposed by strangers on the wage earner.
The Ponzi Scheme is failing, people need to give up the fantasy that they're going to get their share. If those people had had any sense they'd have been demanding the government get out of their wages so they could invest that 15.4% in the equity markets. Almost everyone would have become a millionaire, and they would be giving their children an estate, not a 100 trillion dollar tax bill.
