If social security is such a great system and good thing... why is it not voluntary and not mandatory???... I mean, if it were so superior and great and run so superbly by government, people would inherently chose it over self investment...
Social security is a joke and needs to be phased out of existence
I think part of it is because people in general are not good savers and unfortunately can't be trusted to think long term. Can we educate people? Sure. But that only goes so far.
The problem with "educating" them is that most people don't see the need to save, until it is really too late to start. Kids think, I can start saving when I am forty and then when they are forty life has already thrown them a curve and they put it off until they are 45 etc. etc. etc.
We would serve our children much better if we forced them to start early and keep on saving.
