OK.... I will volunteer to do my part right now... I have been robbed of over 350K during my lifetime... I will take a complete buyout of 175K...that is half of what I paid in...give it to me in one lump sum, and that would mean the other 175K would be my gift to the next generation....

The. Money. Doesn't. Exist. The only way you get
anything is if you steal if from the next generation.
Are you prepared to do that in order to get what you feel you are entitled to?

If everyone agreed to that, we wouldn't have a problem. Not sure $175 is the right number but the concept is sound. Unfortunately, while I suspect you are a responsible person, you know what would happen. A big chunk of the population would spend their $175K and come screaming for more. The press would be full of stories about old people freezing to death (without any story about how they squandered their lump sum payment) and Congress would pass a new Social Security program.

I’ll go even further. If the gov’t let me opt out of paying the system today, therefore opting out of any future payments recieved, in return they can keep all of my payments that I have made n the past! I am a little more than halfway through my working life span and I can still make more in the long run!

The politicians you voted for spent your money. Take it up with them.

Yeah and instead of leaving a million dollars in assets to my kids when I die...I'll donate it to the rain forest fund in South Africa..wouldn't want to offset "generational theft "...
