If you put into SS “well into 6 figures” and expect to get it back, think again. If you collect at age 65 about $25,000 annually and live to be about 83 you will get back $425,000 which is not imo “well into 6 figures.
I do agree private accounts are the way to go.
You made my point. Just give me back what I put into it and I’ll call it even.
I, too, think private accounts are the way to. But don’t stiff those of us who have paid into SS our entire working lives, and just when we get to see some of it, take it away from us. Hence, my proposition to just give me back what I paid into it, and not stiff me, and I’ll call it even.
